The Last Chance Lawyer Box Set (Books 1-3)
About this eBook
After his courtroom career goes up in smoke, Daniel Pike receives a mysterious job offer from a secretive boss offering him a lifeline—a one-time opportunity to join The Last Chance Lawyers, a group with mysterious origins and funding. He's offered a generous salary with the condition that he accepts the cases assigned to him. He's told all the cases will be for deserving clients, people who need help but won't get it anywhere else. It sounds like a litigator's dream come true...but Pike has learned to be suspicious of anything that seems too good to be true…
In The Last Chance Lawyer, Daniel uses every trick he knows in a high-stakes trial filled with unexpected revelations and breathtaking surprises as he tried to save a young girl from a horrifying fate. In Court of Killers, he defends rising political star Camila Perez in a gruesome quadruple homicide—which she calls a frame by powerful rivals. And in Trial by Blood, Pike's client may be the long-lost heir to an immense estate. The problem? He can’t remember the last fourteen years…
This box set presents the first three gripping full-length legal thrillers featuring courtroom phenom Daniel Pike in a convenient and easily affordable package. If you like courtroom suspense, page-turning plot twists, and rebel attorneys, then you’ll love William Bernhardt’s riveting novels.
