About this listen
From Gerry Spence, one of America’s greatest trial attorneys and the New York Times best-selling author of How to Argue and Win Every Time, comes an explosive courtroom thriller of murder, passion, and the twists and treachery of law and justice.
Lillian Adams is going on trial for the murder of her wealthy husband before Judge John Murray, to whom she has been like a daughter since childhood. Despite this long, shared history, both the prosecutor and defense attorney agree that Murray should sit on the case, and Murray himself knows he must. For he believes that if he steps down and another judge is appointed, there will be little hope for Lillian. The prosecutor is a sadistic psychopath who will pervert the law to convict Lillian and do everything in his power to hurt Judge Murray. And Murray must save Lillian.
Gerry Spence takes listeners through shocking twists and suspenseful courtroom scenes that only the great maestro of the courtroom himself could create. Court of Lies goes beyond being a great legal thriller. It questions the very basis of our legal system and its ability to discover the truth and deliver justice.

Story
Robert McCall is a former covert operations officer for the CIA who tries to atone for past sins by offering, free of charge, his services as a protector, an investigator, and a troubleshooter—often literally. Aided by a group of sometimes-mysterious contacts, some of whom date back to his spying days, McCall traverses the streets of New York City, visiting justice upon those who prey upon the weak. A woman finds herself the target of a Chechen nightclub owner. The club is actually a front for an elite assassination service—run by an old enemy of McCall’s.

Story
In his 60-plus years as a trial lawyer, Gerry Spence has never represented a person accused of a crime in which the police hadn't themselves violated the law. Whether by covering up their own corrupt dealings, by the falsification or manufacture of evidence, or by the outright murder of innocent civilians, those individuals charged with upholding the law break it every day - in ways more scandalous than the courts have dared admit.

great story
I see Gerry Spence through out this story! Enjoyed listening to it so much that I didn't want to stop. The next audible book I'm planning on listening to is win your argument, I have the book and have read it several times, in fact it helped me win a court case. Listening to Gerry read it to me is something I'm really looking forward to! I love hearing his voice! I have read almost all of Gerry Spence's books and have not found any I didn't like!

Overall An Entertaining Story
This story is entertaining but you must suspend your disbelief to the edges of your outer limits! This is the kind of novel that spends the first half of the story mostly developing its characters which really helps the story a whole lot, and then the second half is where the storyline develops the drama which mostly takes place in the court room. I liked how a room full of characters were easily distinguished due to the excellent writing and narration. There are twists and turns that keep moving the story forward with a couple of "I didn't see that coming" especially the ending. I enjoyed the story and it did keep me wanting to know what happens next. Adam Gripper is a very skillful narrator. I hadn't heard him in a long while and I think his excellent narration kept me listening as well.

Hate enjoys an eternal life
This author is not for me. Good story, excellent narrator, which is why I purchased this book. Do not miss him in the Lincoln lawyer. I had expected a faster pace Court room procedure and I found this to be a lot of psychological review. . Not my cup of tea so it’s a personal opinion only. Where my comments of help?
