Un hombre inocente va a ser ejecutado...
y solo un hombre culpable puede salvarlo.
Un thriller judicial trepidante del maestro del género.
Travis Boyette es un asesino. En 1998, en una pequeña ciudad de Texas, raptó, violó y estranguló a una de las chicas más guapas y más populares del instituto. Enterró el cadáver en un lugar donde nadie lo encontraría nunca y luego esperó. Observó impasible mientras la policía detenía a Donté Drumm, la estrella del equipo de fútbol que nada había tenido que ver con el crimen. Donté fue acusado, declarado culpable y condenado a muerte.
Ahora han transcurrido nueve años y solo faltan cuatro días para la ejecución de Donté. En Kansas, a más de seiscientos kilómetros de la cárcel, Travis también se enfrenta a su destino: un tumor cerebral que le deja muy poco tiempo de vida. Decide hacer lo correcto por primera vez: va a confesar.
Pero ¿será capaz un hombre culpable de convencer a los abogados, los jueces y los políticos de que están a punto de ejecutar a un hombre inocente?

Co-written by one of the UK's leading counter-terrorism experts, The Sleep of Reason is a tense and compelling thriller about toxic politics and the radicalisation of young men.
A brutal massacre at a theme park leaves eight dead and triggers a wave of extremist violence across Britain.
On the trail of the killer is Detective Superintendent SOPHIE GABRIEL, who must confront her past as she races to stop rival Islamist and neo-Nazi terror groups bringing a deadly campaign of violence to Britain's streets.

“A boy who loses everything but his heart.'
The day All-American Joey Blade turns 18, he learns his ex-girlfriend is pregnant, is betrayed by his new girlfriend, and is arrested for the attempted murder of two police officers. Then things get bad.
The high school bonfire is supposed to be the kickoff to a great night: Joey has just won a football scholarship and he's hoping for a sex breakthrough with his new girlfriend. Then his true love--but ex-girlfriend--Mallory tells him she's pregnant. He's reeling from that news when the bonfire explodes.
Joey, his new girlfriend and her drug dealer friend TJ, flee in her truck. When the police pursue, TJ shoots at the cop's car. It crashes and in the ensuing chaos TJ slips away undetected. Joey, the only adult in the truck, is hauled off to jail.
Joey is charged with attempted murder and released on bail. TJ is nowhere to be found. When Joey discovers that Mallory's father is pressuring her to terminate the pregnancy, Joey has to remain free to prevent that from happening. In desperation, he reaches out to notorious gang leader, Chico Torres, whom he met in jail, for help locating TJ.
When Joey is offered a deal--his freedom in exchange for his cooperation in nailing Chico--he faces a decision that will change the course of his life and Mallory's.
No one knows what happened that night. Seven strangers must decide.
Earl Thomas, a straight-laced taxman with his fair share of police encounters, is the begrudging foreperson in a high-stakes trial in Miami. Laura Hurtado-Perez is a physician whose unassuming manner conceals a private pain. Joseph Cole is the founder of his local neighborhood watch, unduly obsessed with the families around him.
Along with four others, these jurors of varying ages and walks of life whose paths would likely never have otherwise crossed must come together to make one of the most important decisions of their lives.
On the night Melina Mora, a free-spirited woman both proud and kind, was murdered, she was seen with a young man of Gabriel Soto's description. Two strands of her hair were found in his bedroom. Sandy Grunwald, a young prosecutor whose political ambitions depend on securing a conviction, finds herself pitted against Jordan Whipple, a preening public defender armed with a freshly discovered, dynamite piece of evidence on the eve of the trial-if the Honorable Darla Tackett will admit it.
What Sandy, Jordan, and Judge Tackett all know, however, is that the criminal justice system is complicated, and everyone has a story-especially the jury. And it's their experiences, biases, and beliefs that will ultimately shape the verdict.
With striking originality and expert storytelling, Robin Peguero's debut novel explores the prejudice that hangs over every trial in America. You've never read a legal thriller quite like this. There's never been a thriller writer quite like Peguero. And you will not be able to predict how it all ends.
Un pleito de millones de dólares y un abogado de pacotilla...
Un thriller judicial sobre las injusticias de las grandes compañías y el valor verdaderamente frágil que tiene para ellas la salud.
Rudy Baylor es un abogado recién licenciado: tiene un caso, solamente uno, para saldar sus crecientes deudas. En él, debe enfrentarse a una gigantesca compañía de seguros, que podría haber salvado la vida de un hombre joven pero prefirió negarse a sufragar sus gastos médicos hasta que fue demasiado tarde. El litigio se podría cerrar con una condena de varios millones de dólares, pero hay un problema: Rudy no ha hablado nunca ante un tribunal. Y además debe enfrentarse a los abogados más caros, a profesionales que están acostumbrados a moverse entre mares de dinero.

Complex, fascinating, and fun ... Kill All the Judges is a classic crime work, from an author heralded as one of Canada's best, and with good reason." - Shelf Life
Finalist for the Stephen Leacock Humour Prize
Is someone systematically killing the judges called to the British Columbian bar? At least one has been murdered and several have disappeared. Arthur Beauchamp returns from retirement once again to take on the case, this time defending his former nemesis, backwoods poet Cudworth Brown. He finds himself chasing all kinds of leads, including tracking down a mystery novel that Brown's unreliable former lawyer has been writing, just as Beauchamp's own wife, Margaret, has announced her candidacy for the Green Party.
Complex, madcap, and peopled with some of the most delightfully eccentric characters to be found between two covers, Kill All the Judges proves William Deverell's mastery of the hilariously comedic crime novel.
Movie premiers, murder charges, and celebrity shenanigans? It's all in a day’s work for New Jersey prosecutor turned LA family lawyer Sandy Moss.
Former New Jersey prosecutor Sandy Moss moved to a prestigious Los Angeles law firm to make a new start as a family lawyer. So it seems a little unfair that Seaton, Taylor have created a criminal law division specifically for her. Just because she's successfully defended two murder trials, it doesn't mean she likes them!
But when abrasive Hollywood movie director Robert Reeves is accused of murdering a stuntman on set, Sandy finds she can't say no when he demands her help. Robert might be an unpleasant, egotistical liar, but something tells Sandy that he's innocent—even if no one else can see it.
At least this time, she reassures herself, her charismatic, adorable, and oh so annoying TV star boyfriend Patrick McNabb isn't involved in the case. He isn't … right?
The third in the fast-paced, funny, legal mystery series starring pitch-perfect heroine Sandy Moss, who “could give Perry Mason a run for his money” (Kirkus Reviews), is a great pick for fans of cozy mysteries, legal dramas, and anyone who likes to laugh!
When an ecoterrorist is charged with murder, it’s Victoria Lord for the state, Steve Solomon for the defense. And when lovers do battle, it’s winner take all.
The love-hate relationship of Solomon and Lord continues. Sure, opposites attract, but they argue, too! This time, it all starts with the kidnapping of a pair of trained dolphins from Miami’s Cetacean Park.
When one of the ecoterrorists behind the raid turns up dead, his partner in ecocrime is charged with homicide, even though he didn’t pull the trigger. It’s called “felony murder,” and Solomon thinks it’s a bum rap. What he doesn’t count on is his lover and law partner, Victoria Lord, being named a special prosecutor.
Conflicts of interest abound, and Steve is up to his old tricks. At least, the mismatched legal duo agree on something: that each one vows to win the case!
For the attorneys at Cobb and Cobb, the pursuit of justice is about more than legal expertise; it's a family matter.
David Cobb is not a typical lawyer-he's more interested in dispensing God's wisdom than pertinent legal advice. High-stakes litigation is way outside his comfort zone.
For many years Zeke Caldwell has been concocting home remedies made from natural ingredients found in the coastal marshes near Wilmington, North Carolina. One of his remedies proved so effective that he patented it with the help of David's father. Now he suspects a big drug company has stolen his formula. What he doesn't know is that the theft has deeper, more evil roots.
When Zeke asks David to help fight the drug company, David knows the suit is beyond his expertise and experience. But his sister-in-law, Katelyn Cobb, is a rising star attorney in a prestigious Washington, DC, law firm. The courtroom is her second home. Could she help? Would she even consider it?
Life's circumstances compel the lawyers to face, not only patent piracy, but personal obstacles and struggles that threaten to rip apart the fabric of the family. The fight for Zeke requires all the relatives to unite for justice.
Praise for Relative Justice:
"Robert Whitlow's legal expertise shines in Relative Justice, a story of patent infringement and illegal gains, but it's his characters who will steal the readers' hearts. Katelyn Martin-Cobbs, her husband Robbie, and his family face trials that allow them to heal old wounds and forge new bonds. Whitlow's fans are sure to enjoy going along for a memorable, roller-coaster ride."-Kelly Irvin, author of Trust Me

Un hombre, un disparo y cien millones de dólares...
El maestro del thriller judicial vuelve con otra fascinante historia.
Los letrados más jóvenes y brillantes no suelen foguearse, precisamente, como abogados de oficio. Clay Carter lleva así demasiado tiempo y, como la mayoría de sus colegas, sueña con un puesto mejor en un bufete de verdad. Cuando acepta, sin muchas ganas, el caso de un hombre joven al que acusan de un tiroteo callejero con víctimas, asume que simplemente es uno más de los tantos asesinatos absurdos que se cometen en Washington D.C. cada semana.
Mientras investiga el pasado de su cliente, Clay destapa una conspiración demasiado horrible para ser cierta. De repente se encuentra en medio de un complejo caso contra una de las mayores compañías farmacéuticas del mundo, en busca de uno de esos acuerdos económicos que cambiarían su vida por completo... que lo convertirían, casi de la noche a la mañana, en el nuevo rey de los pleitos.
La crítica ha dicho...
