The Edgar-nominated writer recommended for his crackling courtroom moments provides an adrenaline-laced, no-holds-barred thriller—his most effective book to date—as a disgraced lawyer moves the sprained edge between justice and revenge.Haunted by a tragedy in his past and desired by the police for his newest malfeasance, trial lawyer Jimmy “Royal” Payne must skip community. That’s when he crosses paths with twelve-year-old Tino Perez, recently arrived from Mexico with no documents and no cash. The kid first sucks Payne, subsequently pleads for his support. After crossing the boundary with a bad coyote.Payne doesn’t walk out his method for anybody, Marisol, the mother, is absent.
