A Lawyers Gone Bad Novel
Paperback
Publication Date: 18/05/2020
In the fourth and final book of the acclaimed Lawyers Gone Bad Series, Lawyer Discipline Office Director, Dean Alessi, enlists the help of his recently retired Chief Investigator, Stu Foley, to undertake their toughest challenge yet - proving that newly elected NY Governor, Armstrong Nash, with designs on the White House, is a lawyer gone terribly bad. Dean receives a surprise visit from the beautiful lawyer, Kellie Sanger, daughter of Ted Sanger, Governor Nash's recently deceased Chief of Staff. While crying, Kellie tells Dean that on his deathbed only a week earlier, her father had confessed helping cover-up Governor Nash's rape of his teenage old babysitter six years earlier while a Congressman. This cover-up was aided by then Erie County DA, Sam Marcum, presently serving a life sentence for a murder Dean and Foley had helped proved three years earlier. In his deathbed confession, Ted Sanger tells Kellie the cover-up included murdering the teenage girl, her grandmother, and an ADA who had initially received the rape complaint and developed strong evidence incriminating Nash. This information makes it clear to Kellie, and Dean, why Governor Nash only days earlier had pardoned Marcum and his henchman, Stan Mazurka, as well as Marcum's lover, Susie Hines. Dean realizes that Kellie is in serious danger and hides her out at Foley's rural cabin while he and Foley try to prove that the Governor is not only a rapist, but a murderer. During the investigation, Dean's life spirals out of control as he falls in love with Kellie and receives devastating news from his wife of twenty years, Laura. All the heroes and villains from the three previous Lawyers Gone Bad thrillers make an appearance in this the last and best book in the Series, including Chief Justice Chip Krane, Associate Justice Brad Gunther, LDO counsel, Kat Franklin, Atlantic Colonials investigator, Art Maddux, the Craig brothers and their notorious hit man, Sonny Folino. A wild ride to an exciting and fitting conclusion is sure to follow! "Lawyers Gone Bad," Personal Injuries," and "Winning is Everything," of the Lawyers Gone Bad Series have won praise from critics and readers alike who want to know just how bad lawyers can be. "Scarsella spices his tale with saucy language when needed and street lingo where appropriate. He keeps the suspense at high level until the answers unfold." - The Buffalo News Fantastic Plot! - I read a lot (3 or 4 books a week). I read a lot of mystery and suspense novels too. This was as good or better than anything I've read in a long time. A great plot, smooth dialogue and a nice style. I highly recommend it. I look forward to reading Mr. Scarsella's newest novel. - Henry Gawronski Wonderfully Different. - I read so many legal themed books but none like this one. Great insight into the investigations of crooked and politically charged attorneys. Looking for his next book. - Lurline S.Super Good! - Nita C.
