Description
An innocent client harbors dark secrets…
Defense attorney Leland Monroe lost it all: his big-city job, his reputation and, worst of all, his loving wife. Now he’s back in his hometown to hit restart and repair the relationship with his troubled son. But the past is always present in a small town.
Leland returns to find his high school sweetheart hasn’t had the easiest of lives—especially now that her son faces a death sentence for murdering his father. Yet what appears to be an open and shut case is anything but. As Leland digs deeper to uncover a truth even his client is determined to keep buried, a tangled web of corruption weaves its way throughout his once tranquil hometown.
Leland soon realizes it’s not just his innocent young client’s life that’s at stake—powerful forces surface to threaten the precious few loved ones he has left.

Greville W, Reviewer
This was a really pleasant surprise. I had never heard of the author before and believe that it may be his first book and if so he must be congratulated for putting together a well written and thought through legal thriller that really thrills and resonates.
It really gets to the heart of small-town America, the pecking order and the rivalries and behind the scenes illegalities.
In Leland Munroe Mr Kirkland has devised a flawed hero doing the best he can in difficult circumstances to out his life back together and scratch a living.
I will not provide any spoilers but this is a book well worth reading.

I really liked this book! I found the main character to be very flawed but still likable and so well described by the author that I could almost see him. I liked the small town atmosphere and scenarios. The legal thriller was a good read and this was a great start to a new series. I will definitely read more in this series!
