Decreto de Finalidade
by Kenneth Eadesofre um revés em sua prática, e agora deve tomar casos de divórcio para fazer face às despesas. Agora, um caso de crime faz com que ele questione seu papel no caso que acabou de assumir. O advogado Brent Marks odeia aceitar casos de divórcio - mas eles pagam as contas e comparecem com muito mais freqüência do que outros tipos de casos. Mas o seu mais recente está prestes a ficar mais interessante do que o habitual processo de separação, uma vez que a mulher do seu cliente é encontrada morta e o seu cliente é o principal suspeito. Até agora, as linhas da história aparecem cortadas e secas - mas adicione algumas reviravoltas ao estilo típico de Kenneth Eade e você tem uma narrativa de advogado que é bem diferente da abordagem previsível que parece começar. Claro, Brent deve provar que seu cliente é inocente - mas ele nutre suas próprias suspeitas do que realmente aconteceu; e à medida que ele se torna ainda mais atolado na abordagem do assassino, os eventos se desenvolvem para abraçar prisioneiros, atropelamentos, outras matanças e muitas associações duvidosas. Por tudo isso, Brent continua concentrado em integridade, ética e nas melhores escolhas possíveis; e à medida que ele se aproxima da verdade, os leitores seguem com a respiração suspensa. Fãs de thrillers legais, especialmente (mesmo os recém-chegados ao mundo de Brent) vão se deliciar com o enredo realista e reviravoltas satisfatórias que marcam outra leitura excepcional que atrairá facilmente até mesmo os mais experientes seguidores das investigações de detetives legais.

This time it's retired school principal Frank Baker; he's put his life savings into buying "distressed" condos from a powerful investment group, and when the deal goes sour he asks Chase to bail him out. It's a complicated and unpleasant task, but well worth the effort when Baker guarantees Chase a six-figure commission.
