Lawyer X

A True Story

By: Jake Banks

Narrated by: Sean Patrick Hopkins

An American lawyer in Paris jail...

A bright young Texas lawyer determined to make it on his own leaves the DA's office to pursue a career as a criminal defense attorney. Just months later, he finds himself at the center of an international ecstasy drug trafficking ring. As a charismatic negotiator, Lawyer X ignores danger and resurrects a deal gone bad. Caught red-handed in Paris, France, he lands in prison indefinitely.

Isolated from his culture and marked as l'Americain, he is focused on staying alive at a time when Anglo-Franco relations are at an all-time low. Facing years in French prison and multiple life terms in the United States, Lawyer X must protect his best friend's innocence and salvage his own dignity. His mentor, a legendary Dallas attorney, fights to keep him from becoming a casualty in the war on drugs.

FABULOUS BOOK

Very engaging after the first few chapters. He has quite the story to tell. Not sure how he endured the pristine time in France. Absolutely loved the ending! Made me LOL!

Awesome listen

If you can get past the first few chapters and get to the point where he's is getting arrested, you will be in for a ride.

Not at all what I was expecting.

when I started this book it was not at all what I imagined. it took a huge left turn and I loved it! feel bad in a way.

this book keeps your attention.

the story is well written and the narrator is easy to listen to. you can tell the true story

Great story but..

A little repetitive in the middle but great story. Almost couldn't believe it was a true story
