After five grueling years, Robert Worth is just days away from making partner at a powerful Santa Monica law firm. When a client confides in him that senior partner Jack Pierce sexually assaulted her, Robert breaks two of his mentor’s cardinal rules: Never let yourself get emotional about clients. And never make an enemy of Jack Pierce.
Robert crosses Pierce and is fired on the spot, losing not only his job but also his reputation. Advised to go quietly, Robert vows revenge against the ruthless man who betrayed him. But his investigation uncovers a twisted shadow world of sex, infidelity, and deception, where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted. Only one thing is clear: Pierce will go the limit to keep his secrets.
This straight shooter will need to use every angle if he hopes to win. But could victory come at too high a price?
Don’t get mad; get even. I chose this novel as my free book for April 2017. Who has the truth? Who connects with whom at what level? How many ways can one man deliver revenge on people he hates? How many other people deliver elements of revenge? Is anyone left to be simply loving, caring, and trustworthy? The story line supports my stereotype of the under belly of southern California. No surprise that attorneys appear as bad guys and good guys in the schemes for getting even.
Lawyer/Thriller a Fast-Paced Page-turner It’s been a while since I read a Kindle First and felt I had finished an exceptional book. “Beach Lawyer,” billed as a thriller, more than fit the bill. Here’s a rundown of this excellent novel, without spoilers:
