Dead Lawyers Tell No Tales: Landon Reed is an ex-quarterback convicted of organizing a points-shaving scheme. During his time in prison, he found forgiveness and faith and earned his law degree. Now he longs for an opportunity to prove his loyalty and worth. Be careful what you ask for.
Harry McNaughton is one of the founding partners of McNaughton & Clay—and the only lawyer willing to take a chance employing an ex-con-turned-lawyer. Though Landon initially questions Harry’s ethics and methods, it’s clear the crusty old lawyer has one of the most brilliant legal minds Landon has ever encountered. The two dive into preparing a defense for one of the highest-profile murder trials Virginia Beach has seen in decades when Harry is gunned down in what appears to be a random mugging. Then two more lawyers are killed when the firm’s private jet crashes. Authorities suspect someone has a vendetta against McNaughton & Clay, leaving Landon and the remaining partner as the final targets.
As Landon struggles to keep the firm together, he can’t help but wonder, is the plot related to a shady case from McNaughton & Clay’s past, or to the murder trial he’s neck-deep in now? And will he survive long enough to find out?
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
Randy Singer is one of my favorite authors of Legal/Suspense fiction, but this was not one of my favorites of his books. That being said, this is still an intriguing tale with many story lines that appear to be separate yet are all intricately interwoven. Some of the behavior just doesn't make as much sense to me, and I would sometimes lose interest while I was reading. To be fair, I am trying to read during a time when I am swamped with work, but I normally get more caught up in a book. However, I am interested enough to put this on my "keeper" shelf to reread later.
