Robert Herrick is the lawyer for the little guy in Houston, Texas.
His courtroom experiences have been realistically recounted in
David Crump's previous novels CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE HOLDING
COMPANY, AND MURDER IN SUGAR LAND. Now Herrick faces an
international enemy of unbridled arrogance and ruthlessness: the
drug kingpin El Jefe, whose petty grudge against a local reporter
was expressed in a family bloodbath. Can a civil lawsuit against El
Jefe's American bank bring some measure of justice? A mass murder
wipes out three generations of a family, all hacked with machetes.
It's a horrific crime, and obviously drug-related. But it's not
possible that the perpetrators all live south of the border,
because a drug enterprise needs partners in the United States for
money laundering, financing, and transport. The survivors want
justice. Robert Herrick is their choice to get it. He tells them
No, because lawyers aren't trained to locate defendants who come
and go like shadows-or to try lawsuits against drug lords in
foreign countries. But circumstances and sympathies get the best of
Herrick. He finds himself, quickly-and against the protests of his
family-handling the strangest case of his life, drawn into a web of
international intrigue that entangles him with the National
Security Agency, the Mexican Army, the courts of two nations, and
hired assassins. All the while, he's attempting to focus on the
usual parts of the legal process: pretrial papers, deposition
questioning, jury selection, and trial. The mundane gears of law
don't seem up to the task of bringing to justice drug kingpins and
their enabling American banks. Just when Herrick thinks the stakes
can't get any higher, they do-and he realizes that he will have to
fight with primitive energy if he wants to win this case . . . or
if he wants to save his family from . . . THE TARGET DEFENDANT.
