Counsel Fee. Good Counsel, #3

"The client signs because she trusts you. That signature is not consent. It is surrender, notarized."Reese Brogan fought hard to rebuild her life after a toxic fourteen-year marriage. With the help of her empathetic and dedicated attorney, Garrett Landis, she secured a $1.2 million divorce settlement to ensure her daughter's future and fund her new floral business. Then, in a matter of weeks, the money vanishes.
Transferred in four untraceable wire transfers to an offshore account in the Cayman Islands. The bank insists Reese authorized the transfers herself. They have the forged signatures. They have the phone records. And most terrifyingly, they have the audio recordings: Reese's exact voice, flawlessly confirming every stolen dollar. But Reese didn't make those calls. Someone cloned her voice using the hours of emotional, vulnerable consultation tapes recorded in her lawyer's soundproofed office.
Garrett Landis didn't just win her settlement-he engineered it, inflating marital assets to steal the surplus, preying on women whose darkest secrets keep them from going to the police. Reese has a secret, too: $43, 000 of unreported cash she took from her ex-husband during the marriage. If she goes to the authorities to report the fraud, a financial audit will expose her, costing her the business and custody of her daughter.
Trapped inside a perfect crime, Reese teams up with a relentless forensic accountant whose own sister fell victim to Garrett's machine. Together, they must dismantle the lawyer's airtight alibi and expose his predatory enterprise before he destroys them both.
