Lethal Ambition: An Edward Mead Legal Thriller: Book One

By Michael Swiger

Book Overview

Romance. Revenge. Redemption.

On the verge of unseating a powerful incumbent, crusading congressional candidate Marcus Blanchard is framed for murder. As the final votes are counted, he's discovered at the scene of a brutal election-night homicide-accused of killing the very woman hired to assassinate him.

Now, three powerful forces want him eliminated: a corrupt political boss driven by hatred; a violent drug lord protecting his empire; and a sitting congressman desperate to keep his seat. To survive, Marcus turns to the only man he can trust.

Edward Mead-brilliant but aging, and emotionally drained by his wife's cancer battle-reluctantly steps back into the courtroom. Thrust into Cleveland's explosive underworld, Mead collides with drug dealers, riots, and a city torn apart by poverty, race, and political greed.

With time running out and the streets erupting, the case becomes more than a trial-it's a fight for truth, justice, and the soul of a city.

Lethal Ambition is a fast-paced legal thriller that blends the twist-filled mystery of Agatha Christie with the courtroom power of John Grisham. It's a thought-provoking, emotionally charged ride that entertains-and makes you think.
