Tim Junkin's fast-paced insider novel tracks a moral journey. Jack
Stanton began his career as a public defender in the Washington,
D.C., "Agency." A quick study and a charismatic trial lawyer, Jack
believed wholeheartedly in indigent clients' rights to the best
legal defense possible. He worked tirelessly and won some tough
cases against the District's corps of prosecuting attorneys. His
reputation for expert client preparation grew alongside his passion
for winning.
Ultimately, however, Jack pays for that reputation with his
integrity. And, for his workaholism, he pays with his marriage. By
the time he decides to leave the Agency to establish his own
private law practice, his line between truth and manipulated fact
has thinned to almost nothing. And so, specializing in medical
malpractice cases, Jack succeeds brilliantly until he obscures that
thin line altogether and is charged with lying under oath.
He runs, hiding out in a secluded house on the Chesapeake Bay.
It's there that he encounters an idealistic young woman plotting to
avenge her father's murder by terrorists. Her plight leads Jack to
act once again on behalf of an underdog and to regain-at least for
himself-his own idealism and honor.
With its intriguing cast of the accused and their defenders,
"Good Counsel" dramatically illustrates the process and practice of
litigation. It's a knowing, taut, suspenseful novel that confronts
the high price of professional success.
