About this book
In a small East Texas town, attorney James Euchre makes his living as local counsel for powerful outsiders navigating the district’s lucrative patent court. His carefully managed career changes when a prominent judge is murdered and one of James’s clients becomes the accused. Taking charge of the defense draws him into a case shaped by money, local loyalties and secrets extending beyond the courtroom. The novel combines a grounded legal battle with murder-mystery tension, following one lawyer as he tests the evidence and confronts a justice system in which personal influence can matter as much as the truth.
