Lawyer X: A True Story
Linda avatar reviewed on + 770 more book reviews


From the very first sentence I was hooked! As I continued reading, my emotions were all over the place. I felt anger at this man's greed ..... I felt sorry for what it cost him. His family left me heart-broken.

This is the story of Lawyer X ... an intelligent young man who has worked hard to get where he is .... a lawyer in the great state of Texas. He decides to go it alone as a criminal defense attorney. It's only a matter of months before he's up to his backside in alligators.

He finds himself caught in the center of a drug trafficking ring in Paris, where he lands in prison for an indefinite amount of time.

Facing not only his prison stay in France, he also faces multiple life sentences in the United States. He's trying to protect a friend's innocence in all this mess ... but his days are filled with terror and uncertainty.

Terror ... guilt .... anguish ... despair ... broken dreams .. and an uncertain future. It's a dismal story guaranteed to keep the reader turning pages.

This is not my normal genre, but I found it to be extremely well written. It's certainly a compelling read. I would love to know what happens to this man after the last page is written ... maybe there will be a sequel. I hope so.

Many thanks to the author and Word Slinger Publicity who provided an Advanced Readers Copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
