Book info:
Joe Haise is a bland, bow tie-wearing Assistant US Attorney in Chicago handling low-level fraud for the federal government. His stable job and marriage provide him a predicable - perhaps even boring - life. But one evening he scoops up his wife Tina's phone by mistake and reads a cryptic text from an unknown number. Joe's world descends into chaos when he pieces together several random events and discovers Tina is moonlighting as a high-priced escort for Chicago's jet set. In his fervor to uncover the seedy details of her secret life, Joe must confront a dark secret of his own. What could one do, a federal prosecutor no less, if one had no conscience?

My Review:
This book blurb interested me because I have no idea what I would do if I found this out about my spouse. What adds to the drama is that Joe is an attorney that knows all different kinds of people. Dealing with fraud claims definitely means that Joe has connections. The story gets good when he decides what to do with them. This is a great legal thriller by an author that is a real attorney. The author's take on the legal world is accurate and refreshing. His characters are memorable as well. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from the author and blogtour.org, however all opinions are my own.
The author has also given me a print copy that he signed to giveaway to one of my readers! Please enter here:
