However, his world is turned upside down when his wife is scandalously killed, and he finds himself spiraling into a legal and personal losing streak.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this novel is Penney’s transformation from a power lawyer to a lawyer lifeguard.

As the plot unfolds, the author masterfully ratchets up the tension, placing Penney in increasingly dire circumstances. The adage that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client takes on new meaning as Penney fights to prove his innocence and uncover the truth. The final revelation is both shocking and satisfying, a testament to the author’s skill at crafting a compelling legal thriller.
