This was going to be the case that truly sets Jason Kolarich
as a rising defense attorney star in his top legal firm and
will make life rich and easy for his wife, Talia, and their
new baby daughter, Emily. Determined to get every shred of
evidence for the case, Jason, a hard pushing former State
football star, puts the pressure on Ernesto Ramirez to tell
all that he knows and even delays on a major family
obligation for the call from Ernesto. Meanwhile, Talia,
getting angry with Jason for holding them up from the family
visit, grabs the baby and heads off for the trip in bad
weather.
The call he waited for never comes and instead is a call
that his wife and Emily have been killed in a bad accident.
His grief and guilt is enormous and Jason tailspins out from
his work and almost everyone he is connected with. A fellow
lawyer and good friend, Shauna Tasker, offers him a space in
her law office and Jason makes a half-hearted attempt to
regain his life. One day, he gets an unexpected visitor when
Ernesto Ramirez's wife comes to call. To purge his guilt
after hearing her, Jason finds a new goal in life -- he is
going to track down Ernesto's killers or die trying.
With his headstrong way and focus on his new goal, he
manages to get ensnared in an FBI undercover probe involving
high-level breach of trust corruption, bribery, kick-backs
and extortion. As FBI Agent Chris Moody holds his feet to
the fire, Jason decides the only way he can do his digging
to find the dirt is to be a government snitch and seeks out
the underbelly of the self-serving advisers and hanger-ons
to those in power. But, will he get the same horrible fate
as the last snitch that went in wired?
Award-winning author David Ellis has created a very
compelling and authentic look at the ugliness of political
corruption in BREACH OF TRUST. While it is terrific as a
standalone read, Ellis fans will be thrilled with the return
of Jason Kolarich as this story builds on what happened in
A Hidden Man. Ellis presents an incredible portrayal
of Jason dealing with his suffering and guilt of the loss of
his small much loved family and how he grabs back into life
with his need to do what is right and "to hell with them"
attitude. Drawing on his own legal experiences, Ellis also
gives a very realistic story development as he moves the
plot between fast paced and suspenseful action to the very
detailed case development work on what is needed to bring
political corruption crimes to justice. Warning: Very hard
book to put down once you start it! Too entertaining and
engrossing to be missed!
On the night his wife and infant daughter died, attorney
Jason Kolarich was awaiting a call from an informant. He
blames himself not only for the deaths of his family, but
for the informant's murder as well. Kolarich can't bring
back his family, but he can find the person who killed the
informant. And he discovers that his informant's murder was
only the tip of the iceberg-and that exposing the truth will
drag him into the fight of his life.
