Mystic Wind: A Legal Thriller

James Barretto

"Boston star-prosecutor-turned-corporate-attorney Jack Marino is savagely beaten in retaliation for his work as head of the District Attorney's Urban Gang Unit. He is then fired because his powerful boss is running for governor. Jack turns to practicing corporate law at his father-in-law's mega law firm. Two years later he is given a chance to get back into criminal law: as a defense counsel in a capital murder case. The case will take Jack back to the projects he thought he'd escaped-- and he will have to risk personal and professional ruin, and ultimately his very life, to fight the corrupt forces determined to see his client go down" -- Adapted from jacket.
