Theo Boone, the son of well-known lawyers in the city, has more than once helped friends settle issues with the law and even proved the innocence of those who were unfairly accused of crimes. But this time he will have to face a clash with very dangerous opponents, and the rules and stakes in this game will be nothing like childish.
Theo and his friends dared to challenge very influential people—those who determine what the city and the surrounding lands will be like, where all of them live. Local rich people and corrupt politicians have enormous money at stake, and these people have no intention of giving concessions for the lawyer’s age and for his friends, who are disrupting their plans.
