{"product_id":"9780692822029","title":"Winter's Law","description":"From the author of the top-rated David Brunelle Legal Thriller Series...\u003cbr\u003eTalon Winter was one of the most feared civil litigators in the Pacific Northwest-until she was wrongfully terminated by her high-priced law firm for refusing to follow an unethical order. Forced to reinvent herself, Talon recalls the one time she truly enjoyed being a lawyer-defending a fellow tribal member accused of murder-and decides to strike out on her own as a criminal defense attorney.\u003cbr\u003eShe's also going to sue the pants off her old firm.\u003cbr\u003eBut balancing her personal lawsuit with a fledgling law practice proves more difficult that Talon imagined. She has no choice but to take on the first client who walks in her door: Michael Jameson, a successful, forty-something, African American husband and father-who's just been charged with a 25-year-old cold case murder, a gang-related drug deal gone horribly wrong.\u003cbr\u003eThe one question Talon needs answered is the one question Michael refuses to answer: Did he do it?\u003cbr\u003eMichael insists it doesn't matter. He's not the same person he was twenty-five years ago. He's built a new life in the intervening years, and nothing that happens now will bring the victim back. Instead, he poses a far more provocative question: Would the legal system reach back that far to take away everything built up by a successful White man?\u003cbr\u003eTalon must simultaneously battle her old law firm, a condescending prosecutor, reluctant witnesses, and even her own client to achieve that most elusive of goals: Justice.","brand":"Stephen Penner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015081214192,"sku":"9780692822029","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692822029_p0.jpg?v=1763617452","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692822029","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
