The NYT's Business Investigations Editor reveals the dark side of American law.
Delivering a "devastating and rollicking" (Carol Leonnig) exposé of the astonishing power wielded by the world's largest law firms, David Enrich traces how one firm shielded OPIOID MAKERS, GUN COMPANIES, BIG TOBACCO, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS, FOX NEWS, and much of the FORTUNE 500; helped DONALD TRUMP get elected, govern, and evade investigation; masterminded the conservative remaking of THE COURTS . . . AND MADE A KILLING ALONG THE WAY
In his acclaimed #1 bestseller Dark Towers, David Enrich presented the never-before-told saga of how Deutsche Bank became the global face of financial recklessness and criminality. Now Enrich turns his eye towards the world of "Big Law" and the nearly unchecked influence these firms wield to shield the wealthy and powerful-and bury their secrets. To tell this story, Enrich focuses on Jones Day, one of the world's largest law firms. Jones Day's narrative arc-founded in Cleveland in 1893, it became the first law firm to expand nationally and is now a global juggernaut with deep ties to corporate interests and conservative politics-is a powerful encapsulation of the changes that have swept the legal industry in recent decades.

Cara works as a board-certified music therapist for those in hospice care for people with Alzheimer's as well as individuals living with cerebral palsy and Down Syndrome. Cara was inspired to pursue music therapy after seeing the power music had with her own grandfather, who had Alzheimer's.

During college, Cara met a guy and by their late 20's, they were engaged. Soon after buying a home and just before the wedding, everything fell apart and they went their separate ways. However, she created a new plan for her life that was propelled by selling her home, taking her dog, Lula, on a cross-country road trip, writing songs, and finding a new sense of independence.
