Thriller Legal

Anderson Parker is back on top. After leaving the law practice of Justin Cartwright III as well as beating his boss at his own game, Anderson is on the verge of becoming the most well-respected trial attorney in Tampa. With his personal and professional life in balance, Anderson's vision of bringing truth and justice to all is finally in reach. Anderson knows there is a price to be paid for surpassing Justin, but he doesn't realize to what lengths his former mentor will go in order to seek revenge. Justin Cartwright III has made a name for himself as the most ruthless lawyer in town. There is nothing he won't do to win a case. Morals and ethics are for the little people who think righteousness is their due. Justin knows better. To succeed in the courtroom, all scruples need to be checked at the door. That's what separates the good from the best. No one is better than he and that includes Anderson Parker. Unable to bear the stiff competition from his former protégé, Justin conjures up a devious plan to destroy Anderson's idyllic life. To keep his hands clean, Justin hires a sexy, yet intelligent paralegal named Nicole Babson to do his dirty work. What unfolds is an unfortunate flood of events that wash over Anderson and send him gasping for air. With his family and firm deeply under water, Anderson must fight his way back to the surface through the layers of deceit and blackmail orchestrated by the one and only Justin himself. IMPLIED CONSENT is the second novel by the well-known trial attorney Cody Fowler Davis. Taking his real life experiences from the courtroom, he creates a brilliant legal thriller that keeps his readers coming back for more. The verdict is in... Fowler once again has penned a winner.

SUMMARY

Renowned trial lawyer and award-winning author Cody Fowler Davis follows up his debut novel Green 61 with this new legal thriller which once again pits optimistic, good-natured attorney Anderson Parker against the ruthless Justin Cartwright III. This time around, Justin enlists the help of an attractive paralegal named Nicole to infiltrate Anderson's firm and wreak havoc on his personal and professional life. While his marriage and career are being threatened by Justin and Nicole's ruthless tactics, Anderson's legal team dedicates themselves to several thought provoking cases which allow the reader to have a behind-the-scenes view of how a jury decides fault, and values severe personal injury and death. Only an author who has taken to trial numerous high-profile cases can provide such accurate details. The reader is challenged just like the jury... A mother holds her intoxicated college-bound daughter in her arms as she dies from internal injuries suffered in a car accident - should the father who served alcohol to the minors be held financially accountable? .... The career of a professional tennis player ends when his leg is sliced open by a barracuda during a snorkeling trip in Key West -- is it fair to require the dive boat operation to pay because its employees provided faulty equipment? ... A young girl is left brain damaged after a wave runner strikes her head while she plays in the gentle surf -- does justice dictate that the manufacturer should pay for all future medical treatment? These fascinating cases lead up to the final trial where Anderson and Justin challenge each other, not as lawyers, but as parties suing each other and seeking vindication. Who will win the last battle, and who will be destroyed?
