Publisher's Summary
A client savagely kills a man to protect a friend. A lawyer with secrets must prove it was justified.
Attorney Nate Shepherd left a big firm to go out on his own. He sees nothing but opportunity when an out-of-town lawyer wants to hire him as local counsel on a high-profile murder case. Though his family worries that the case hits too close to home, Nate joins the defense team.
When circumstances force him to take on a bigger role, Nate ignores his family’s fears and throws himself into his client’s defense. But as he digs deeper, every aspect of the case raises memories of a terrible event that Nate has tried his best to bury.
Battling an aggressive prosecutor in court and a dogged reporter outside it, Nate fights to prove that his client’s brutal, bloody slaying of an evil victim was right. But when Nate’s own story is exposed, it threatens his client’s freedom...and Nate’s carefully constructed life. Can he fend off his own demons long enough to save his client?
This is the first book in the gripping Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller series. If you like razor-sharp dialogue, iron-willed characters, and slippery moral quandaries, then you’ll love this fierce courtroom drama.

Wonderful Story and performance
I really felt like I was there with Nat as he put his case together. I will certainly be listening to more books in the Nat series by Michael Stagg.

Subjective but this is a terrific book
When I get something for nothing, I don't expect too much. However, occasionally I'm introduced to a fab new writer. This book is a legal procedural. Think Michael Connelly/The Lincoln Lawyer but with a lighter touch (and no Harry Bosch). I particularly enjoyed the structure of this novel; I appreciated the hints of the bigger story that played out through the text. Nicely done. This writer treats readers as intelligent humans who can read between the lines. If I have a criticism, it's that the result was wrapped up a bit too neatly for credibility ... but I don't really care. I rarely write reviews as I don't wont to encourage indifferent writing but this novel so far exceeded my expectations, I felt compelled to click on the Review tab. Enjoy your reading!

I loved the narrator and the story is great. I will definitely listen to the series.
I got this book as a 'freebie' and really enjoyed it. It has a good storyline and the narrator is great. I will definitely listen to more in the series.

More to drug abuse than first appears
Although not a brilliant, gripping story it held my interest. The narration was easy to follow.
Has left me thinking drug addicts are much more than the narrow perception I have developed from the media.

Terrible.
Awful characters. Narrator did not change their voice at all between different characters, very difficult to follow. Disappointing ending.

Covers every emotion possible, a great listen, not too deep or heavy. A really enjoyable crime to court story.
