Thaddeus Murfee is the lawyer the hopeless call when they are outgunned by the legal system... but what happens when he's suddenly outgunned too?
A waitress has been assaulted by a big-time real estate developer with money to burn. Thaddeus takes him on in court. After he wins against the District Attorney and wins against the Chicago Mob, the Chicago killers send an assassin after him. But Thaddeus has a secret force: her name is Christine, and she is his paralegal, and she is a US Army Silver Star from Iraq for her bravery in holding off an insurgent attack and saving her squad. She helps Thaddeus buy a gun and teaches him how to shoot it. Then she teaches him how to win a gunfight.
He makes himself highly visible, and the trap is set.
Then one night, he leaves his front door unlocked... On purpose.
If you like John Grisham's Jake Brigance, Michael Connolly's Mickey Haller, and Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, you won't be able to put The Defendants down.
