In this fast-moving legal thriller, lawyer Jack Bryant retires early to Fort Worth to<br />
kick back, relax and watch his son play football at TCU. But when an elderly<br />
widow shows him a check for life insurance proceeds on her husband that<br />
is suspiciously made payable to the dead man's former employer, Jack files a civil<br />
suit to collect the benefits rightfully due the widow. Suddenly a seemingly<br />
accidental death thrusts Jack into a vortex of killings, and he and his new love<br />
interest find themselves targets of a murder-for-hire scheme. Written by a trial<br />
lawyer with decades of experience, this is an unforgettable thriller that will leave<br />
you on the edge of your seat.<br />
