Publisher Description
“Cowan has combined the best parts of classic legal thrillers, with an unexpected new lead character that brings the genre into a new generation.” —JAMES PATTERSON
From a writer and executive producer of Suits comes a riveting and gritty legal thriller about murder, cover-ups, redemption, and Los Angeles—perfect for fans of #1 bestselling authors John Grisham and Scott Turow.
As a disgraced lawyer with a drinking problem that he doesn’t view as a problem, Jake West is coasting on what’s left of his charm and money. He used to be the kind of lawyer who could convince anyone of anything—until he decided to take on his father’s biggest client and prove his dad was corrupt. Now Jake finds himself almost at rock bottom, and that’s before his ex-best friend is murdered and Jake is accused of the crime.
In a desperate bid to save himself, Jake must sober up and search for the real killer, whom he suspects might be hidden in one of the case files of his father’s illustrious law firm. As he delves into a labyrinth of lies and corruption, Jake teams up with an eclectic group of equally broken people as they all must skirt the law in order to find the proof he needs…no matter the personal or professional cost.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When a hotshot lawyer has to beat his own bogus murder rap, the streets of LA really heat up. Jake West is a rumpled but charming attorney who has just about blown up his professional and personal lives with drinking and philandering. But he’s no killer, despite some extremely damning evidence suggesting he murdered his colleague Rich Kaplan. Once the dissolute but cunning West dives into cracking the case, things get exponentially murkier. First-time novelist Jon Cowan made his name as a writer-producer on dramas like Suits and Bones, so it’s no wonder Proof plays out so visually, you can see it all unfolding in your mind’s eye. Cowan takes you all the way inside his characters, and he lets you look deep into both West’s masterful legal mind and his messed-up heart. Andrew Eiden’s narration intensifies the suspense as he disappears into a wide range of characters through his knack for drama and dialect. Following a lawyer around has never been so much fun.
