Description

In Biloxi, Mississippi, Stafford Lee Penney is a celebrated attorney whose courtroom victories have made him the town’s most recognizable lawyer. But after his wife’s shocking murder sends his personal life and legal career into a tailspin, Penney must reinvent himself far from the polished image that once defined him. As he takes on an unexpected role at the beach and guides a promising law student, he begins to discover new purpose—just as he becomes the prime suspect in a murder case. Blending courtroom drama, reinvention, and suspense, this gripping legal thriller follows a disgraced advocate’s fight to reclaim the truth and his future.
