Publisher's summary

A client with delusions of a deadly conspiracy draws attorney David Adams into a darkness where only the paranoid know how to get out alive.

Former up-and-coming hotshot attorney David Adams left his glamorous corporate law firm to fight for the disenfranchised. With a caseload of petty offenses, a meager office in a crumbling building, and little in the way of compensation, David needs a real case.

When he agrees to represent Rebel, David recognizes this will be the biggest challenge of his young legal career. The mentally unstable homeless man has been accused of murder, and the evidence of his guilt seems overwhelming. But it’s the victim who shakes David’s world: a county prosecutor who just happens to be an old law school friend. Rebel’s murky defense: a paranoid insistence on a CIA plot to silence the derelict.

Aided only by a "legal team" of misfit street friends and a fellow counselor lured into this dark web, David will risk everything to defend his client...who may not be nearly as crazy as he seems.

Superb legal thriller!

AN UNEQUAL DEFENSE is the second novel in the David Adams legal thriller series by attorney and author Chad Zunker. The series is set in Austin, Texas. The series novels are standalone but listening to An Equal Justice first is very helpful. The publisher's summary is excellent so I will not add to it. Narration is outstanding. I very highly recommend this series

Chad Zunker's Sam Callahan series is also excellent.

Audible: An Unequal Defense is a legal thriller, not an espionage thriller!

A Most Unusual Legal Thriller!

A schizophrenic homeless client, a down-on-his-luck honest young attorney, and a scheme of corruption reaching to the highest levels of power are the distinctives of this nail biting legal drama. With no criminal trial experience, the protagonist seems utterly outgunned in undertaking a notorious capital murder case, and with the death penalty looming for his client should he fail, the stakes could not be higher. This is a masterfully crafted tale that stands totally on the strength of the writing, without any large amounts of cursing, crudity, or sex that are so often a part of other thriller novels whose authors mistakenly think they must rely on such things for credibility of dialogue or story line. Chad Zunker has written a masterful story that lacks for nothing, and takes second place to none. The narrator, Christopher Ryan Grant, is a pure pleasure to listen to, and seems to draw the voices and characters of a whole cast from his voice and training alone. This was one of my favorite listens, and the best I have heard in a long time!

Great story

The main character is engaging. I love the fact that he has humbled himself and found what is most important in life. David became friends with many homeless men and ends up helping a man that is accused of murder. David digs in to find the truth to help his friend become free.

MUST READ SERIES!!

This is a great series to listen to, I hate it is only 3 books in the series. Action, some humor and it keeps you guessing on the fact if he will get a love interest and not all the smooch in a book where you wanted more action so that was a plus.

Good guys win again

The main character is easy to like. Hidden players and motivations create plenty of mystery. There are action scenarios that are well written and created plenty of drama.
