The Hamptons lawyer
James Patterson
The Hamptons on Long Island is known for its beautiful beaches, its luxury lifestyle--and its exclusive legal advice. When Jane Smith takes on a famous celebrity client, she's armed and ready: with brilliant arguments, hard evidence--and two Glocks. Yet she's chased down, shot at, and risks contempt of court. That's when mounting a legal defense turns into self-defense. Knowing every day in court could be her last, she's a survivor. For now"--
