Summary

Cocaine. Construction. Corruption.

The unholy trinity.

Self-made property mogul Tina Leonard has already lost her business, her home and custody of her children because South East Banking Corporation left her bankrupt. Now it appears she is being framed for the murder of her banker, Oliver Randall, a senior executive of the corporation. Her motive? Revenge for ruining her life and her business.

When maverick lawyer Peter Tanner is brought in to represent Tina, he bends the law to learn the truth. Was the real killer employed by the bank to silence Randall, who knew too much about their corrupt clientele and business dealings?

As Tanner digs deeper, the truth is harder and harder to find. Drug dealers and dodgy cops are a breed apart from corrupt corporate bankers, who'll do anything to keep their names in the clear.

Who really silenced Randall? Tanner gets more than he bargained for as he tangles with craven bent banks and a client who can't talk, and danger lurks far too close to home.

Drawling narration

I really enjoyed this second book in the series. The story is interesting and builds nicely. I'm unsure why no one else has listened to/written reviews on them yet! I would listen to a 3rd if it existed! My only caveat is the narrator. He speaks really slowly, I even tried it on 1.25x in case that would help! If you can get used to him, as I did then give it a go. It was worth the credit.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
