{"product_id":"9780692218105","title":"Silent Counsel","description":"Suppose the unimaginable: What if your child were killed in a hit-and-run? And the one person who knew the driver's identity-his lawyer-couldn't tell you his name because of a legal technicality? \u003cbr\u003e\"Silent Counsel\" is the story of just such a nightmare. After Stacy Altman's six-year-old son is run down in front of their house, with no witnesses to the tragic accident, she learns that the driver has hired attorney Scott Heller to negotiate a plea arrangement with the prosecutor. But he's instructed Scott not to reveal his name until a satisfactory agreement is in place. The prosecutor refuses to make a deal, and the court rebuffs Stacy's efforts to force Scott to tell her-or even the authorities-who his client is, holding that the information is protected by the attorney-client privilege. \u003cbr\u003eSince the court won't do anything to help Stacy track down her son's killer, she takes matters into her own hands. And she's determined to make Scott talk-at any cost...\u003cbr\u003eWhen Stacy's stalking of Scott's young daughter escalates into a kidnapping, Scott makes the only reasonable choice a parent can-cooperate and give up the client. That's when Scott discovers that doing the right thing isn't as easy as he thought-and now the mother isn't the only one looking for the child's killer.","brand":"Suspense Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017868951792,"sku":"9780692218105","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692218105_p0.jpg?v=1763616418","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692218105","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
