A fast-paced legal thriller with twists, kinks and complicated relationships, The President’s Lawyer will suck you in, engage your brain and satisfy its thirst for high drama. Lawrence Robins delivers a juicy and alluring story that compels you to soak up every single sordid element and race to the finish to learn the shocking truth. Fans of legal thrillers by the likes of John Grisham and Michael Connelly will devour this novel.
Rob Jacobson takes on the biggest case of his career defending the former President of the United States against a murder charge. Complicating things is the President is Rob’s best friend and the murder victim is a woman with whom Rob had a past romantic relationship. However, Rob knows he’s the best lawyer for this case and crafts a strategy that casts aspersions on other people he cares about, all in the name of getting an acquittal for his client. As the trial unfolds and more information comes to light, Rob wrestles with the claimed innocence of his client and his own demons from the past. And the only thing that’s certain is that however the case concludes, the participants will never be the same.
The President’s Lawyer is a legal procedural novel at its finest and is written by someone who clearly knows the inner workings of the justice system. From trial prep, to jury selection, to the cat-and-mouse game between the prosecution and the defense, to the direct and cross examinations, to the judge’s approach for the trial – everything feels authentic and is structured in an engaging and linear manner to provide bits of critical information along the way, so you never know exactly what’s coming next but can’t help but try to predict what you think will happen next. And at the point when you figure out the truth, you can’t stop your mouth from uttering several expletives in surprise and delight at how things turn out. It’s very well constructed and entertaining as hell.
