Publisher's Summary:
When experienced employment attorney Scott Winslow takes on a whistle-blower case for fired energy company executive Kevin Walters, actions are set in motion that will change lives forever. Scott pursues a lawsuit alleging that his client was fired for complaining about unsafe conditions in the company's mines that endangered workers. Along the way, Scott discovers that government records were altered in the wake of an explosion that killed one mine worker and injured three others. As they search, Scott and his team discover blackmail, sanitized records and a corporate cover-up.
And something else - there is someone out there who wants the case dismissed at all costs, enough to threaten them and then to come after Kevin Walters, as well as Scott and his family. They all find themselves targets of that someone with his own agenda as they chase the evidence they need to prove the case at trial.

2 hours of story CRAMMED into 13.5 hours
Where to begin? I like good courtroom battle stories with a good (please forgive the oxymoron) lawyer be it defense, prosecutor or otherwise, springing the trap on the other (and more common) bad lawyer. Mix it with action, a la John Grisham - Sycamore Row or Michael Connelly - Lincoln Lawyer, and I am completely engrossed. This is NONE of that.
FULL DISCLOSURE, I only made it to Chapter 23 of 41 before I threw my hands up and surrendered. The synopsis of the book seemed as though it could be a good legal thriller. The premise COULD HAVE BEEN developed into a great story. Instead, I had to keep my finger on the Fast-Forward button constantly. There are 3 PARAGRAPHS of story related information or character and plot development and then 3 CHAPTERS of the main protagonist lawyer talking to his 4-year-old daughter: "isn't she just the most adorable thing with her mispronunciation of Good Lawyer that comes out Good LIAR?" And for a break from that, we do just 1 paragraph on his six-year-old sons baseball games and sullen personality. That equated to 30 seconds of story related dialogue and 10 or 15 minutes sometimes of tripe that I assume, was supposed to make the main character likable and human. This happens over and over not just in one place.
As for the great legal maneuvering that we were given in those brief 30 seconds of relevant conversation, it was as dry as reading the transcripts from a motion hearing on discovery. The hero lawyer, an "Employment Attorney" is representing an executive from an energy company that was fired after he reported multiple mine safety violations in a coal mine owned by the energy company. According to the synopsis, this whistle-blower set off a chain of events that would change lives and communities forever. But, more than 1/2 way through the book, NOTHING. A Lawsuit with a single corporate counsel that slowly or improperly responds to the plaintiffs demand for discovery and is generally unlikable.
The READER and the Audio Editing is probably the worst or maybe second worst I have ever heard. Audio Editing was horrible. At one point in chapter 11, the reader in mid-sentence clears his throat - Um hmmmm - then restarts the paragraph from the beginning. I just shook my head. I actually thought for a time that the book was really the Google Text To Voice program reading the book. Inflections are weird and the cadence halting and slow.
