Mystic Wind: A Legal Thriller (A Jack Marino Legal Thriller)

2022 American Fiction Award Winner for Legal Thriller The last remaining fragment of truth-- hidden in the mire of the Mystic Creek Boston star-prosecutor-turned-corporate-attorney Jack Marino has risen fast and far from his upbringing in the Mystic housing projects. But after he' s savagely beaten in retaliation for his work as head of the District Attorney' s Urban Gang Unit, he' s fired because his powerful boss is running for governor and fears the beating may have shaken Jack' s formidable confidence. Jack lands a plush suite at his father-in-law' s mega law firm, making big money practicing corporate law. Although he seemingly has everything-- money, privilege, and an heiress for a wife, what he doesn' t have is his own self-respect. When he is given a chance to get back into criminal law-- this time as defense counsel in a capital murder case-- he finally feels alive again. But to save his client from death row, he' ll face a criminal network far more organized and powerful than he could have imagined. The case will take Jack back to the projects he thought he' d escaped. He' ll risk personal and professional ruin, and ultimately his very life, to fight the corrupt forces determined to see his client go down-- forces that may have already given absolute immunity to the real killer. Perfect for fans of John Grisham and Scott Turow
