With a cartel boss funding hitmen, and the LA PD looking for payback, Carter finds himself caught between two armies out for revenge.Will this new lawyer unravel the truth in time to save his friend, or has the real killer saved the final twist for the end?Twisted Defense is a heart-pounding courtroom drama full of intrigue and deception where the stakes are life and death. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Michael Connelly, and James Chandler.
Good take with a few twists and turns. Loses a star for the, I think, abrupt ending.
Learn how Ben Carter got his start as an attorney. Excellent novel.
