The Street Lawyer Book Description
Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm.
One step away from partnership, Michael has it all. Then, in an instant, it all comes undone: A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm’s plush offices.
When it’s all over, the man’s blood is splattered on Michael’s face — and suddenly Michael is willing to do the unthinkable.
Rediscovering a conscience he lost long ago, Michael is leaving the big time for the streets where his attacker once lived — and where society’s powerless need an advocate for justice.
But there’s one break Michael can’t make — from a secret that has floated up from the depths of Drake & Sweeney, from a confidential file that is now in Michael’s hands, and from a conspiracy that has already taken lives.
Now Michael’s former partners are about to become his bitter enemies. Because to them, Michael Brock is the most dangerous man on the streets.
