Christian Legal Thriller Will Keep You Flippin' the Pages!

Are you looking for a good legal thriller by a Christian author so you should not have to be as leary of what the content would be? If so, this is a good, "can't-put-down-until-you-finish" book.

The author, Craig Parshall, is a highly successful lawyer from the Washington D.C. area, who specializes in civil liberty and constitutional rights cases. He is considered a man with conservative values in mainstream and Christian media. Knowing this, I dove into this book, and read it in a few days, reading late into the evenings.

The story is of a normal, everyday young college professor, who decides to invest in some real-estate. In trying to make a quick buck, he finds himself in quite a web. The story quickly intensifies as this real estate investment begins to unravel its involvement with the Mafia and high powered attorneys, leading to losing his job, attacks on himself, becoming penniless, and through this being introduced to God. There is also a sweet love story that evolves.

Having been a legal secretary in my younger days, I enjoyed reading this, and found much of it to be realistic (though the attorneys I worked for never were involved with the Mafia!!). It is not filled with too much legal jargon so that it is easy to understand and keep flipping those pages! The outrageous fees that are charged and dealing with a variety of attorneys were quite true. The author has a way of captivating his readers greatly.
