The Contract Lawyer: A page-turning legal thriller
Choose options
A legal thriller that trades the courtroom for cartel country, following an attorney into South America to bring his kidnapped nephew home. Rescue-mission suspense with jungle peril and family loyalty at its core.
No Court Can Help His Nephew Now.
Looking for justice in a lawless land.
When his nephew is kidnapped and taken to South America, seasoned San Diego attorney Thaddeus Murfee goes after him. With a unique set of skills and a stubborn streak, Thaddeus works his way through the cartels' corrupt underbelly, risking everything to bring his sister's son home.
The deeper he moves into the jungle, the more the mission stops being about the criminals who took the boy and starts being about the shadows of Thaddeus's own past. Getting in was the easy part. Getting the boy out alive is the case of his life, and there's no judge to appeal to out here.
The Contract Lawyer is a Thaddeus Murfee legal thriller, for readers who love rescue missions, cartel country and lawyers pushed far outside the courtroom. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Lee Child and Mark Greaney.
