Well, surely a lawyer isn’t gonna walk away after something as strange as this happens. But, Jay doesn’t realize that him looking deeper into the situation would put his practice, his wife and his livelihood at stake.

Amongst all of this, Jay continues his duties as a lawyer, finds time for his wife, and unexpectedly winds up dealing with people from his past when he was an activist. And surely he realizes that some people just can’t be trusted, not then and not now.

Though this is the author’s first book, I’ve read The Cutting Season last year. This book was entirely different. It’s a mystery / thriller / crime fiction with a lot of law / political information weaved within it - to give the main character a bit more flare. 

I enjoyed this read because it gave an outlook on corruption from a political view, all races alike, and allowed the reader to see that somehow some small things are connected to bigger problems especially when big names are involved. Though not everyone will turn a blind eye, not even for a few dollars. The crazy things people do for that “black water rising”.
