    About this ebook

    MEET BILLY STROBE - a lawyer and an ex-con, a man who believes in the law but always seems to be on the wrong side of it - in this "powerful [and] satisfying” (Publishers Weekly) suspense novel from the bestselling author of The Alternate. You are likely never to forget him. Ambition and intelligence carry Billy Strobe to the top of his law school class and into a stock market scam gone south. And after a stint at a high-security prison, he finally takes on the fight of his life: clearing the names of the two men he respects most. One is a soft-spoken lifer he befriended in jail, and the other his Billy's father, the best criminal defense lawyer in Oklahoma until alcoholism, allegations of fraud, and a suicide on the eve of his imprisonment ended his life. But things are not as they seem, and Billy's dual quest for justice will lead him into high-level conspiracies and vicious murders, ultimately forcing him to choose between loyalty and protecting a woman he has come to love.

      This is, as best I can tell, Martel's 4th book and latest book. I've read two of the others. One wasn't worth finishing. One was ok. And this book is a great example of how an author can pull it together. Billy Strobe has all of the elements that I love in a book - great characters, great plot, interesting ideas and credibility. It starts with Billy in his 3rd year of law school which he is finishing up from behind bars at Soledad prison. He graduates. He gets out of prison and divides his time between clearing his late father's name and springing his 'innocent' friend from prison. It's just a great story.
