Description
Washed-up, small-town lawyer Marko Bauer already has enough on his plate. And with his latest case, he may have bitten off more than he can chew.
“...authentic, tightly plotted, and leaves some great surprises…” —Joe Cargile, author of Legacy on Trial
Defending Allee Smith's cousin on what appear to be run-of-the-mill drug charges, Marko quickly discovers that the case is just the tip of the iceberg in their town's murky waters. The eye of the storm? The Yellow Lark restaurant, an eatery with more secrets than specials on the menu.
Allee, fresh out of the clink and trying to stitch her life back together, turns out to be the ultimate wingwoman. Dragged into the fray, she and Marko discover a thumb drive crammed with the kind of secrets that make people disappear.
They're playing with fire, and it's about to get hot.
In a town where truth is a commodity and the price of justice is steep, Marko and Allee are caught in a desperate race against time. Unraveling the town's secrets could be their path to redemption—or the road to disaster.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author James Chandler and seasoned attorney Laura Snider comes Justice Bites. Perfect for fans of John Grisham and Michael Connelly.

Kathryn M, Reviewer
This was a strong start to the Smith and Bauer series, it uses the legal thriller that I was hoping for and enjoyed the overall storyline going through this. James Chandler & Laura Snider have a great writing style and enjoyed the overall feel of this world. It left me wanting to read more in this world and from the authors.
Greville W, Reviewer
I love his Sam Johnstone series but this is a bit more hard boiled with a couple of gritty protagonists who are sometimes not that easy to like or empathise with.
Perhaps they will grow on me as the series - and hopefully there will be more books featuring them - develops.
The plot was clever and complex and the writing taut and tense.
A good start indeed.

Highly recommended for fans of gritty legal thrillers. This is not one of those slick Hollywood-style thrillers; JUSTICE BITES has a real-world vibe, which I especially enjoyed. I liked how the town's secrets became so important in this journey toward potential redemption. The pacing is good, although I suspect the novel could have been tightened and a bit shorter. This is a strong start to a new series, and the writing checks all the boxes for a good legal thriller.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-galley; all opinions in my review are 100% my own.
