Description

In the trial to decide many futures, can Jake survive? It's been five years since hardworking lawyer Jake Martin started at Sperling, Beekman, Howe, Woods, & Simon. A senior associate, he's had his eye on the coveted position of partner for far too long...and five years in, it's make or break time. When client Augustus Daren finally passes away after a year on life support, Jake is pulled into a world where the truth is more complicated than it seems. Daren's last will and testament places the control of his bank, Hanover Square, in the hands of his fourth wife, the clever and beautiful Elizabeth Daren, but his two grown children are furious. Gussie and Chip have no need for the money, but they do want the bank - and are willing to go to any lengths to get it. Claude Louis deSalle, the devious president of Hanover Square, is similarly shocked by the contents of Daren's will. His ambitions foiled, deSalle works behind the scenes as part of a silent team determined to get rid of Elizabeth Daren. In their eagerness to destroy their stepmother, Gussie and Chip hire Tiger Sage, an experienced trial lawyer to contest the validity of the will. Canny, quick, and more than able to turn a jury in his favour, he shines in a courtroom in a way that Jake can only dream of. And when Jake, a lawyer with zero experience of litigation, is unexpectedly assigned the task of trying the case, he finds himself at the mercy of powerful men and women, buffeted back and forth by currents of power. Ultimately, he realises that when in the presence of enemies, the only person you can truly count on is himself... William J. Coughlin has combined a career as a United States administrative judge with that of a bestselling novelist. A former defence attorney and judge in Detroit for twenty years, he authored sixteen novels, and his experience living and working provided some of the inspiration for his law- and courtroom-themed thrillers.
