Descrição
SHE NEEDS A LAWYER. HE NEEDS A PAYDAY.
Lawyer Simon Latch is struggling with debt, gambling issues and an impending divorce. But when Eleanor Barnett, an 85-year-old widow, visits his office to secure a new will, it seems his luck has finally changed: she claims she's sitting on a $20 million fortune and no one else knows about it.
Once he's hooked the richest client of his career, Simon works quietly to keep her wealth under the radar. But it's a terrible mistake. Hidden secrets have a way of being found out, and when Eleanor is hospitalised after a car accident, Simon realises that nothing is as it seems.
As events spiral out of control, he finds himself on trial for a crime he swears he didn't commit: murder.

First book by this author and not fully sold on picking up more. Felt it was too long and tried to speed run the ending.
