En savoir plus sur le livre

Being a client means loyalty, whether deserved or not, and receiving my best effort for an hourly fee. In a world where everyone has turned against him, there is one person who will fight by his side as long as there is a battle. William Lashner, acclaimed author of Fatal Flaw, Bitter Truth, and Hostile Witness, weaves dark, witty tales of suspense featuring Victor Carl, a defense attorney navigating life in shades of gray. With a struggling legal practice, a dead-end love life, and unpaid traffic tickets, Victor often bends legal ethics in pursuit of easy money. However, loyalty remains his guiding principle, especially to clients—even if they are dead. When Joey Cheaps, a lowlife with a tragic end, shares his involvement in a crime before being murdered, Victor is thrust into a quest for justice. Investigating Joey's dark past leads Victor on a twisting journey to uncover a suitcase filled with cash, photographs of a mysterious woman, and a Supreme Court justice harboring secrets. As he delves deeper, Victor finds himself targeted by a vengeful enemy with a painful history. Past Due is a thrilling, darkly evocative tale that pushes Victor into uncharted territory, solidifying Lashner's reputation as a master of suspense.
