Interviewing Ms. Hartmann

From the King, Book 2

By: Makitia Thompson

Narrated by: David L. York

The blunt and ruthless Cole King is interviewing Michelle Hartmann, a now-disgraced lawyer who won her cases through fraud. Michelle began her law career helping the ignored, supporting fairness and moral rightness in the legal system. Until she got a strong desire for power and saw herself above all of the ignored she once pretended to care about.

In a harsh and swift motion, Michelle made her switch to become a defence attorney. She wasted no time finding herself a challenging case representing a child killer and paying to prove the innocence of a monster. Michelle spent more than 20 years bribing, blackmailing, extorting, belittling, and harassing everybody on her way to becoming one of New York's top lawyers.

Using the Hartmann family's deep connections and millions of dollars, Michelle kept some of the most disgusting criminals free through manipulation. Finally she was exposed and forced to stop the madness. But the Hartmann family has been connected, wealthy, powerful and deeply rooted in New York for decades, meaning that Michelle has yet to see consequences for her actions.

Michelle wants her career back, she's speaking with Cole in an effort to change the narrative and reveal what she calls the truth. While Cole King plans to bury her and expose everything she's been able to keep secret. In this intense interview, you'll hear about the many ways Michelle managed to keep herself on top, while destroying everybody around her.
