Choice of Evils: A Wyatt Blake Legal Thriller

Wyatt Blake, district attorney turned defense lawyer, faces his first murder trial from the dark side. He’s representing Ryker Brando, a wealthy rock climber charged with murder for cutting the rope of his climbing partner, causing him to hurtle to his death. Colorado’s “Choice of Evils” defense will determine whether Wyatt can get Ryker off even though the man who fell was having an affair with Ryker’s wife. Wyatt, a widower with a six-year-old daughter, faces his own choice of evils in his personal life, as he battles grief and guilt over the tragic death of his wife. Fans of Scott Turow, John Grisham and Scott Pratt will love Wyatt Blake.

“A sharp, twist-filled legal thriller . . . with layered characters, ethically charged dilemmas, and compelling courtroom drama, the novel offers both intellectual engagement and emotional impact. For those who enjoy thoughtful, well-paced narratives grounded in legal realism, this is a standout choice."
