The death of a long term lover, her European boss, of ALL THINGS, sets the action however it barely seems to effect her. I say kind of because the protagonist is a well paid corporate lawyer but her knowledge of the law pays little role in the book except beingfor her excuse for making stupid decisions. This book is kind of a legal thriller me. Suddenly, Ellice’s past and present lives collide as she launches into a pulse-pounding race to protect the brother she tried to save years ago and stop a conspiracy far more sinister than she could have ever imagined. When she uncovers shady dealings inside the company, Ellice is trapped in an impossible ethical and moral dilemma. While the opportunity is a dream-come-true, Ellice just can’t shake the feeling that something is off. She can’t be thrust into the spotlight - again.īut instead of grieving this tragedy, people are gossiping, the police are getting suspicious, and Ellice, the company’s lone black attorney, is promoted to replace her boss. Why? Ellice has been keeping a cache of dark secrets, including a small-town past and a kid brother who’s spent time on the other side of the law. But everything changes one cold January morning when Ellice arrives in the executive suite and finds him dead with a gunshot to his head.Īnd then she walks away like nothing has happened. Įllice Littlejohn seemingly has it all: an Ivy League law degree, a well-paying job as a corporate attorney in midtown Atlanta, great friends, and a “for fun” relationship with a rich, charming executive, who just happens to be her White boss. A debut perfect for fans of Attica Locke, Alyssa Cole, Harlan Coben, and Celeste Ng, with shades of How to Get Away with Murder and John Grisham’s The Firm. Morris crafts a twisty mystery about a Black lawyer who gets caught in a dangerous conspiracy after the sudden death of her boss.
