About this listen

Mark Gimenez is back as The Colour of Law star A. Scott Fenney takes the stand for an impossible case.

An ISIS attack on America is narrowly averted when the FBI uncovers a plot to detonate a weapon of mass destruction in Dallas, Texas, during the Super Bowl. A federal grand jury indicts 24 coconspirators, including Omar al Mustafa, a notorious and charismatic Muslim cleric known for his incendiary anti-American diatribes on YouTube and Fox News. His arrest is greeted with cheers around the world and relief at home.

The president goes on national television and proclaims, 'We won!' There is only one problem: there is no evidence against Mustafa. That problem falls to the presiding judge, newly appointed US District Judge A. Scott Fenney.

If Mustafa is innocent, Scott must set the most dangerous man in Dallas free, with no idea who is really guilty. And all with just three weeks to go before the attack is due....

Well what can I say the A Scott Fenny series just gets better and better. This book builds and builds tension till there is a pressure cooker relief. The comedy is not subtle but there are laugh out load moments a plenty. Lest hope for more from A Scott and Mark.

It took a while to get into this story, but I persevered and boy, was I glad I did. I was gripped.
Great characters, great plot with believable events. I’m now going to check if there is a new AScott novel.
Also have to mention my favourite narrator Jeff Harding, who brings the story completely to life.

Everyone should use Jeff Harding! Thank you to both author and narrator.

This was Amazing and heart racing! I have a few niggles, but not enough to say that this wasn't an amazing story. The narrator is very good - even though I still have an issue with how he pronounces one of the character names. But it's better pronounced than the last time.

Read the books in order, you will get far more enjoyment from them. In my opinion, the first and this third book are the best stories.

Phew!
