The Last Word A Legal Thriller

In the heart of the opioid-ravaged Rust Belt, redemption has a price—and the path of justice winds through the wreckage of everything left behind. Attorney Jack Hamilton is haunted by the overdose death of his son and the collapse of his marriage, clinging to the scraps of a faltering legal practice, barely holding on—when a name from his past returns to unravel his fragile existence. Rebecca Monroe. CEO. Socialite. Enigma. And Jack’s former lover. When Rebecca is charged with the cold-blooded murder of Buffalo’s most powerful and beloved politician, Jack is pulled into a high-stakes crucible of crime, guilt, and retribution. With the city hungry for blood, Jack must defend a woman he once loved but no longer trusts, in a courtroom that’s already decided her guilt. As the trial unfolds, secrets about Rebecca’s past and what festers at the city’s core surface. The deeper Jack digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
