The Lawyer
Picture
A young woman is brutally murdered in an act of mistaken identity. A comely lawyer with a troubled past fears that she was the intended victim, and seeks help from the only person she trusts—retired police detective Jack Trainer.

Trainer comes out of retirement to protect the lawyer and track down her wannabe killer—a ruthless schemer with violent friends.

                                                                ————
In The Lawyer, Emory Cosgrove breathes life into a fascinating cast of characters and creates an equally fascinating storyline with intriguing subplots, unexpected motivations, and mysterious double-dealing. This book is sure to be a hit with Cosgrove fans (like me) and with new readers fortunate enough to discover this talented writer.... I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Highly recommended. —Dan Baldwin, Author, Sparky and the Beard.

Pure Cosgrove, one more time. The action opens with a shotgun blast to the face and picks up speed from there. The story is a  sprint from the first page to the last. —Roger T. Ames, translator of Sun Tzu: The Art of Warfare.

Available in print format both on Amazon.com and in retail bookstores. Available in ebook format on Amazon/Kindle, Smashwords.com, Barnes&Noble Nook-Books, iBooks, and most other ebook outlets.
