eBook - Nothing But The Truth

Haunted by his first trial loss and the resulting devastation of a client, attorney J. Carson Tucker faces the most daunting case of his career revolving around a claim that an executive has forced an employee, a wife and mother, into sexual slavery. All the while he is simultaneously advising a judge whose stunning young wife may be straying and coincidentally juggling his first chance at romance since his divorce. To meet the challenges, “Tuck” enlists colorful characters encountered in his past cases, including a dreadlocked Jamaican businessman who bottles ancient voodoo potions for his ethnic community and Frankie Holland, who hopes for gender reassignment surgery and whose multiple personality disorder sometimes makes “her” believe she is “Marilyn Monroe of Canada.” Necessarily provocative, as any novel exploring sexual addiction and harassment would be, readers will be enlightened about current psychological research, legal strategy, and ethics as plot lines culminate in a compelling courtroom showdown.
