A Lawyer on the Run Action Suspense Thriller
Quinton Bell has built his second life on one rule: hide in plain sight.
In Houston, he is a criminal defense attorney with a steady hand and a gift for reasonable doubt. In New York, he was someone else entirely. That man is supposed to be dead.
Houston Wildcatters’ linebacker Marcus Hale—known to fans as Halestorm—is arrested for the brutal murder of his agent, Daniel Price. The arrest is public. The headlines are relentless. And Harris County is ready to make an example of a fallen star.
But Hale insists he is innocent.
As Quinton and his team dig deeper, the case unravels into something darker than a contract dispute gone wrong. Price was not just an agent. He was a man who collected secrets, controlled careers, and preyed on vulnerability.
Including murder.
With the prosecution tightening its narrative and the courtroom pressure mounting, Quinton must decide how far to push a defense rooted not in greed or rage, but in survival. Because sometimes the truth is not clean. Sometimes innocence does not look innocent at all.
And as the trial barrels toward its verdict, a chilling reminder surfaces that Quinton’s own past is not finished with him. Someone out there knows he is still alive.
From bestselling legal thriller author Manning Wolfe comes the third installment in the celebrated Proxy Legal Thriller Series—a high-stakes courtroom drama layered with secrets, strategy, and the dangerous cost of living under an assumed name.
In this game, survival is everything.
And no one, or secret, stays buried forever.
