Thriller Legal
Alejandro “Alex” del Fuerte, fresh out of law school, is
returning home to South Texas, ready to open his solo
practice, humble as it may be. He’s got dreams of making his
mark in the world and in the courtroom. But when he meets
Porfirio “Pilo” Medina, who just crossed the border in
search of his wife and son, Alex is suddenly dragged into a
world of wrongdoings and political pay-offs rarely covered
in law school. The mystery deepens when Pilo is murdered, seemingly to
cover up the truth about his wife and child’s disappearance
and a conspiracy to scam insurance companies out of millions
of dollars. Alex fears that his short career as an
attorney—not to mention his life—will come to a sudden end,
as the heavyweight players involved will stop at nothing to
keep him from exposing their dirty secrets, even if it means
resorting to blackmail, bribery, and even murder. As Alex’s lofty ideals and dreams are dashed, and his own
ethics and morals come into question, he must also fend off
his girlfriend’s father, Lieutenant Governor Rene
Yarrington, the most influential person in Texas politics.
Rampant corruption and big-money politics are set against
the rich backdrop of border culture, with its distinctive
way of life and unique perspective. And Alex, something
between saint and sinner, is an apt guide to both the light
and dark sides of the region.
