The Street Lawyer

Wichael Brock is billing the hours, making the money,

rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C.

law firm. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all.

Then, in an instant, it all comes undone.

A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm s plush

offices. When it is all over, the man s blood is splattered on

Michael s faceDand suddenly Michael is willing to do the

unthinkable. Rediscovering a conscience he lost long ago,

Michael is leaving the big time for the streets where his attacker

once lived--and where society s powerless need an advocate

for justice.

But there s one break Michael can t make: from a secret that

has floated up from the depths of Drake & Sweeney, from a

confidential file,that is now in Michael s hands, and from a con-

spiracy that has already taken lives. Now Michael s former part-

ners are about to become his bitter enemies. Becaffse to them.

Michael Brock is the most dangerous man on the streets...
