A corporate lawyer goes up against the mob in this “vividly real and quite compelling” legal thriller set in the Mad Men era (Library Journal).
New York lawyer Alec Brno is only in his second year at the prestigious corporate firm Kendall, Blake, Steel & Braddock. So, when the partners offer him a spot on a sensational fraud case making international headlines, it’s a major vote of confidence—and the opportunity of a lifetime. Defending US Safety Vault requires shifting the blame to mob boss Phil Anwar.
The gambit is dangerous enough before Alec falls hard for a key witness—an alluring young woman who also happens to be Anwar’s wife. She ran from his abuse into Alec’s arms. Now he’s either about to secure his spot on top of the world or come crashing down hard.
