In New York City, the Simon and
James law firm names superstar attorney
Warner Murphy a partner though he has been with them just a few
years. The young lawyer plans to
celebrate with his wife and daughter.
However, he is alone in their luxurious Upper East Side apartment when a
delivery person arrives. The newcomer
forces Murphy to jump from the twentieth story patio in what looks like a
suicide.
Not long after Murphy’s deadly leap,
John “Satan” Milton obtains a legal position at Simon and James as their new
hotshot. Milton deploys his plans for
the city, starting with his new job of defending the guilty and winning every
time. Meanwhile, everyone
else insists this is a tragedy for the Murphy family; NYPD Detective Matthew Blake finds anomalies, starting with a
lack of a motive to kill himself especially at the victim’s happiest
moment.
As this is the prequel to The Devil’s Advocate
focusing on the pre steps leading to the establishment of the John Milton &
Associates law firm, readers obviously know the outcome from having read the
first novel or seen the Pacino movie.
Still, Andrew Neiderman displays his talent as he turns the storyline
into an electrifying good (Blake) and evil (Milton) urban fantasy legal
thriller.
