Landon Reed is an ex-quarterback convicted of organizing a points-shaving scheme. During his time in prison, he found forgiveness and faith and earned his law degree. Now he longs for an opportunity to prove his loyalty and worth. Be careful what you ask for.
Harry McNaughton is one of the founding partners of McNaughton & Clay—and the only lawyer willing to take a chance employing an ex-con-turned-lawyer. Though Landon initially questions Harry's ethics and methods, it's clear the crusty old lawyer has one of the most brilliant legal minds Landon has ever encountered. The two dive into preparing a defense for one of the highest-profile murder trials Virginia Beach has seen in decades when Harry is gunned down in what appears to be a random mugging. Then two more lawyers are killed when the firm's private jet crashes. Authorities suspect someone has a vendetta against McNaughton & Clay, leaving Landon and the remaining partner as the final targets.
As Landon struggles to keep the firm together, he can't help but wonder, is the plot related to a shady case from McNaughton & Clay's past, or to the murder trial he's neck-deep in now? And will he survive long enough to find out?

      While doing time in prison for fixing games, ex-football quarterback Landon Reed earned a law degree. When he gets out, there's only one man willing to take a chance on him--Harry McNaughten of McNaughten and Clay. Not long after, Harry is killed. It looks like a mugging gone wrong, but soon other members of the firm die as well. Landon races against the clock to find the killer. Is it a former client, or are the murders somehow tied to Landon's current case? VERDICT This riveting and thought-provoking legal thriller is sure to please Singer's (The Last Plea Bargain) fans and earn him new ones. Recommend it to those who appreciate Joseph H. Hilley.
