A Down on His Luck Attorney’s Life Spirals into Chaos


Kevin Moore is standing behind the counter making sandwiches in a down-at-the-heel sandwich shop, Substitution. Once an attorney on the way up, he’s separated from his wife, on probation from a cocaine possession charge, and practically broke. His trouble only get worse when a mysterious man comes into the sandwich shop and tries to convince him to take part in a complicated medical malpractice insurance scheme. The man disappears and leaves Kevin with new set of legal troubles.

This is a fast paced legal thriller. Kevin is a character you can’t help rooting for, particularly when he rescues a stray puppy. The plot is twisty and the ending satisfying, but unexpected. I did find the text had a bit too much criminal law explanation, but it didn’t slow the pace too badly
.

If you enjoy legal thrillers, this is a good one. It’s unusual in having the attorney in such criminal jeopardy, but the story works well.

I received this book from First to Read for this review.
