Attorney David Adams is the last hope for an adolescent runaway being
targeted by an assassin and sought by the FBI in a breath-catching novel
by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of An Unequal Defense.
Having abandoned corporate law, David Adams is now the voice of justice
for the city of Austin's vulnerable outcasts. His new client is Parker
Barnes, a trembling twelve-year-old runaway and foster-care poster boy
arrested for petty theft. Dealt a rough hand in life, he reminds David
of his own childhood. This should be a simple, if heartbreakingly
familiar, case. Until the FBI muscles in.
Parker is also a suspect in the murder of a federal witness. No matter
how desperate Parker's denial, David fears there's so much more to the
kid's hard-luck story than he's letting on. Especially when a hit man
sends the boy running to the only safe place he knows: the streets.
With both the feds and a killer on Parker's trail, the hunt is on.
Teaming up with a pro bono investigator and utilizing his reliable band
of street-savvy friends, David must find Parker first if he's to save
the boy from an undeserved fate. And maybe even save himself.
