And that's just what someone planned. For Michael Ashmore, soft-hearted, hard-headed trial lawyer, has been chosen as the perfect patsy in a chilling conspiracy. and he has until the verdict comes in to find out who and why...

"Genberg brilliantly breathes new life into...[the] genre... The sort of twist-your-guts stuff that catapults Reckless Homicide into the must-read category."
   THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

"A more accomplished and exciting thriller than Grisham's The Street Lawyer. There's legal and corporate skulduggery spiced with sex and complicated by ambivalent family loyalties."
   DETROIT FREE PRESS

"An astounding courtroom thriller that will keep readers on the edges of their seats until the last page. Highly recommended."
   LIBRARY JOURNAL
