Thriller Legal
Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Greg Iles, and Linda
Fairstein—this action-packed legal thriller debut races from
the gleaming canyons of New York City to the
hurricane-lashed waters of the Caribbean. Michael Rudolph’s
Noble Chase combines a smart, determined heroine and
a storm of stunning surprises in a pulse-pounding morality
tale of international intrigue that delivers suspense right
up to the shocking end. Sic transit gloria. Beth Swahn, a young lawyer, makes
a rookie mistake: She believes her client. While basking in
the glory of winning a hundred-million-dollar judgment for a
U.S. division of C. K. Leung’s Chinese conglomerate, Beth
realizes that because of her naïveté, Leonard Sloane,
president of the division, has absconded to the Caribbean
with his banker girlfriend and seventy million dollars of
the judgment money. Shortly thereafter, they are both
presumed dead when a Mayday call to the Coast Guard reports
the sinking of their yacht. Stunned, furious, and determined to retrieve Leung’s money
and save her firm from bankruptcy, Beth investigates
her way through a maze of money laundering and
white-collar corruption. When the trail leads her to
Sloane’s handsome son, she is torn between her attraction
for him and her fear that he may be involved in the theft.
Beth is not alone in her search for the money. C. K. Leung
is also involved, because he doubts Beth’s innocence. When
her investigation moves to a critical level and a missing
encrypted file comes to light that has the power to ignite a
geopolitical firestorm, Leung becomes convinced that Beth is
a party to Sloane’s scheme, and her life becomes violently
threatened.
