About this listen
How much does the truth cost?
In Charleston, South Carolina, against a backdrop of racial tension, twenty-one-year-old Deon Ramsey was convicted for the brutal assault of his blonde girlfriend. The first trial stirred up feelings of hatred and angst amongst the community, bringing the city to the edge. Two years after the conviction, when new information is discovered that might prove Ramsey's innocence, criminal defense attorney Joe Hennessy agrees to join the defense team.
Digging deep into a web of lies, desperate to find the truth, Hennessy uncovers secrets buried by one of South Carolina's most powerful families. Battling against corrupt officials, fraudulent business owners, and violent felons, Hennessy is thrown into a world where money buys loyalty and silence.
To save his client from a grave injustice, to expose what really happened, Joe Hennessy must risk everything to bring the guilty party to justice…

No powerful Washington connections. She got there on merit. Cadence found her exceptional drive as a teen when she learned she could never trust her mother again, when she realized the adults who claimed to be looking out for her were liars. She wanted to make damn sure she'd never have to rely on anyone else, ever again. Becoming a lawyer meant she could be someone who stood up for the powerless.

Love this series!
I love this series! The narrator, Bradford Hastings, is perfect! His Australian accent for the PI is fabulous! This book is hard to put down and always on the edge of my seat to see what happens next. There is no profanity, which I appreciate. I love the courtroom drama! If you are a fan of John Grisham you won’t be disappointed.

The knowledge of life in the south is true
The depth of the characters development is quite impressive. I lived at a time in the area of the story and its people were very familiar.
