Summary
The Local : A Legal Thriller
A freewheeling, small-town attorney takes on a national murder trial when an out-of-town client is accused of killing a federal judge in Texas. "A spectacular courtroom thriller that kept me turning pages like the best of Grisham or Turow." --Michelle King, co-creator of The Good Wife, The Good Fight , and Evil The town of Marshall, Texas, is the epicenter of intellectual property law in the US--renowned for its speedy trials and massive payouts. One of its best lawyers is James Euchre. His newest client, Amir Zawar, is a CEO forced to defend his life's work against a patent infringement claim. But when a beloved hometown hero is murdered, all signs point to Zawar, an outsider with no alibi. With the help of a former federal prosecutor and a local PI, Euchre hopes to uncover the truth. In his first criminal case, the stakes couldn't be higher. Euchre fears either an innocent man will be sent to death row, or he'll help set a murderer free. The Local is a small-town thriller crackling with courtroom tension right up to the final verdict.
