He took a chance, told a lie, then a plane went down-- and the nightmare began...

Michael Ashmore, senior partner at a top law firm, has a reputation he cherishes. In a world of liars, he's an honest man. So he shouldn't start an affair with a junior attorney at his firm. But he loves her. As a major airline's counsel, he shouldn't hide a failed drug test for his pilot brother, Charlie. But the test showed a mere trace of a prescription sleeping pill. And Charlie swears he'll never touch a pill again.

And that's just what someone planned. For Michael Ashmore, soft-hearted, hard-headed trial lawyer, has been chosen as the perfect patsy in a chilling conspiracy. And he has until the verdict comes in to find out who and why...

From the Publisher:

Praise for RECKLESS HOMICIDE:

"The best debut in the legal-thriller field since Turow's Presumed Innocent." --Booklist

"Genberg brilliantly breathes new life into...[the] genre...The sort of twist-your-guts stuff that catapults Reckless Homicide into the must-read category." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"A more accomplished and exciting thriller than Grisham's The Street Lawyer. There's legal and corporate skullduggery spiced with sex and complicated by ambivalent family loyalties." --Detroit Free Press

"An original and intriguing legal thriller that kept me turning the pages until the very end. The twists were clever, the courtroom scenes were excellently written and the ending was thoroughly satisfying." --Philip Margolin, bestselling author of The Burning Man

"I couldn't put Reckless Homicide down. Full of ingenious twists, its courtroom scenes charged with electricity." --Barry Reed, bestselling author of The Deception

"An impressive blend of sinister corporate politics, high-stakes aviation industry cover-ups, and compelling courtroom drama...first-rate entertainment." --P.T. Deutermann, author of Sweepers and Zero Option
