About this listen

Inspired by a true story.

A young, ambitious lawyer is eager to prove he is better than the mobster-dominated family he grew up in. Working as a Bronx Legal Aid attorney, he learns how to twist the system, how to become an unbeatable defense lawyer. But it's 1982. The Spiderman rapist is on the loose and New York City is a city in fear. When an outraged victim commits suicide right before his eyes, searching for absolution and determined to prove his client's innocence, he knocks the pegs out from under the prosecution's case.

Digging deeper, horrifying revelations about his family's past collide with the true identity of the sadistic sociopath behind the real Spiderman's rampage. In the process, this good lawyer comes face-to-face with his greatest conflict and deepest fear: to win, really win, must he sacrifice every principle he believes in and embrace his family's mafia past to become judge, jury, and executioner?

Overall, the story was enjoyable, and the narrator was easy to follow.

The courtroom drama was limited and not as engaging, but the characters had enough depth to keep readers hooked.

The ending became somewhat predictable as the story progressed but it was still a satisfying ending nonetheless.

Overall, enjoying audible originals; good value and high quality.

Good storyline, albeit a predictable ending

Apparently based on a true story, an up an coming young lawyer defends a young teaching assistant against allegations of child abuse while distancing himself from his family’s Mafia connections. At the same time, women are being raped by the person nicknamed Spider-Man. The stories are intertwined and investigations run parallel. Although there are some small plot holes, it’s by far the best of this genre I’ve read in ages! Onto the next!

Best crime/legal thriller I’ve read in ages!
