Review of eBook

Will McCarty and Cassandra Robbins, medical malpractice lawyers with A. Stein and Associates, are representing José Marquez, a building contractor who tumbled down a heating duct when a sheet of plywood covering the opening failed, causing him to fall some three stories and resulting in him sustaining a shattered cervical spine.

During the course of the trial, a surprising revelation creates an unexpected problem for the case. While Will and Cassandra are in court, the other lawyers seek answers about the dark secrets of the three veterans of the Vietnam conflict.

Will they find the truth . . . and can it make a difference for their case?

=========

Second in the author's A. Stein and Associates series, the book works well as a standalone. The mystery that arises during the trial draws readers into the telling of the tale. The plot twists in some surprising ways as it casts a light on immigration issues, politics, veterans’ issues, and the war in Vietnam.

Relatable characters and believable situations keep the story unfolding as might be expected, but as the plot points come together, readers are likely to be frustrated with what seems like a rather abrupt ending that leaves a question or two unanswered.

Recommended.
