Успешный молодой юрист, которого ждет блестящая карьера и финансовый успех, вдруг круто меняет свою жизнь. Он бросает работу в крупной фирме и становится «защитником беззащитных» — бездомных бродяг, нищих иммигрантов, уличных проституток и беспризорников. Неужели принять такое решение его заставило трагическое событие, участником которого он невольно стал? Или это был лишь предлог, чтобы получить возможность распутывать по-настоящему интересные и загадочные дела? Дела, от исхода которых зависит не только судьба его клиентов, но и его собственная жизнь…

Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all. Then, in an instant, it all comes undone: A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm’s plush offices. When it’s all over, the man’s blood is splattered on Michael’s face—and suddenly Michael is willing to do the unthinkable. Rediscovering a conscience he lost long ago, Michael is leaving the big time for the streets where his attacker once lived—and where society’s powerless need an advocate for justice. But there’s one break Michael can’t make—from…

Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience. But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging, and learned that he was a mentally ill veteran who'd been in and out of shelters for many years. Then Michael dug a little deeper, and found a dirty…

Michael Brock is a man in a hurry. He's in the fast lane at Drake & Sweeney, a giant Washington law firm. He's a rising star, with no time to waste, no time to toss a few coins into the hands of beggars. No time for a conscience. But a chance violent encounter with a homeless man stops him cold.

To get to the truth, Michael will have to dig deep into some of his own firm's dirtiest secrets...

Блестящий молодой юрист, которому было уготовано великолепное будущее, внезапно круто изменил свою жизнь. Он бросил работу в крупной фирме — и стал «защитником беззащитных» — бездомных бродяг, нищих иммигрантов, уличных проституток и беспризорников. Он сошел с ума?! Так считают все вокруг.

Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, three years away from a partnership. He was a rising star, with no time to waste, no time to stop, not time for a conscience. But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this homeless man? Michael did some digging and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney. The fast track derailed; the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted from the firm, and took a top secret file with him. He landed in the streets, a poverty lawyer, an advocate for the homeless. And a thief.
