Legal Limit eBook

Gates Hunt is a compulsive felon, serving a stiff penitentiary sentence for selling cocaine. His brother, Mason, however, has escaped their bitter, impoverished upbringing to become the commonwealth''s attorney for their rural hometown in Virginia, where he enjoys a contented life with his wife and spitfire daughter. But Mason''s idyll is abruptly pierced by a wicked tragedy, and soon afterward trouble finds him again when he is forced to confront a brutal secret he and his brother had both sworn to take with them to the grave, a secret that threatens everyone and everything he holds dear.

Intricately plotted and relentlessly entertaining, The Legal Limit is an exploration of the judicial system''s roughest edges, as well as a gripping story of murder, family, and the difficult divide that sometimes separates genuine justice from the law.
