Overview
Washed-up, small-town lawyer Marko Bauer already has enough on his plate. And with his latest case, he may have bitten off more than he can chew.
“...authentic, tightly plotted, and leaves some great surprises…” —Joe Cargile, author of Legacy on Trial
Defending Allee Smith's cousin on what appear to be run-of-the-mill drug charges, Marko quickly discovers that the case is just the tip of the iceberg in their town's murky waters. The eye of the storm? The Yellow Lark restaurant, an eatery with more secrets than specials on the menu.
Allee, fresh out of the clink and trying to stitch her life back together, turns out to be the ultimate wingwoman. Dragged into the fray, she and Marko discover a thumb drive crammed with the kind of secrets that make people disappear.
They're playing with fire, and it's about to get hot.
In a town where truth is a commodity and the price of justice is steep, Marko and Allee are caught in a desperate race against time. Unraveling the town's secrets could be their path to redemption—or the road to disaster.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author James Chandler and seasoned attorney Laura Snider comes Justice Bites. Perfect for fans of John Grisham and Michael Connelly.
