An Extralegal Affair

"Wendelboe is a skilled writer who ratchets up the suspense." ―Margaret Coel, New York Times bestselling author of Winter's Child

Former disbarred Philadelphia attorney J. Balm Hendy found his calling chasing ambulances and drawing easy out-of-court settlement checks. He is successful. He is shady. He is a shyster in over his head when a 10-year-old homeless girl guilt trips him into defending her father in a murder case. A simple plea deal turns into an investigation by J. Balm, plunging him and his misfit associates into the seedier side of Denver that cutthroats and thieves, killers and gangbangers call their lair. He is thwarted and threatened at every turn by ghosts of his past and ghosts of his present, dangerous ghosts that suddenly show J. Balm that his very life could depend on finding the true murderer-before the murderer finds him.
