Landon Reed is trying to reinvent himeself. An ex-quarterback emerging from prison with newfound faith, he seeks redemption by earning his law degree. When Harry McNaughten, a brilliant criminal-defense lawyer, takes Landon under his wing, Landon finds his convictions and marriage tested as he is assigned to a case much more sinister than he ever could have anticipated.
The story maintains an intriguing fast pace throughout, never growing dull. At weaving a compelling and surprising narrative that is chuck full of intrigue and peril, the author succeeds. However, the characters, though believable enough, are emotionally underdeveloped. Even for a plot-driven novel, characters need to have opinions, worries, and dreams, which these characters are in short supply of. Essentially a mainstream novel with Christian protagonists, the story is never blatantly Christian, and, thus, has overtly violent content and adult situations that some may find objectionable. Fans of court dramas or suspense thrillers will enjoy this well-crafted narrative, but those in search of a more emotional or spiritual journey should look elsewhere.
