Edgar Award Finalist for Best First Novel!
A Washington, DC, litigator is hired to defend his best friend, the former President of the United States, against a murder charge in this novel that is “clever and thrilling with a shocking twist” (People).
After a long career as one of DC’s most powerful litigators, Rob Jacobson is faced with the case of a lifetime: the former President of the United States—his childhood best friend—has been accused of murdering his mistress.
Rob knows he’s the only one who can prove his friend’s innocence, but he is soon overwhelmed as he attempts to devise a strategy to defend an authoritative man with a taste for infidelity, serious anger issues, and unconventional sexual appetites. As the high-profile case unfurls, the troubled, intertwining pasts of the two men complicate Rob’s efforts and soon, doubts begin to grow in his head. Could his oldest friend truly be capable of murder or is something even darker at play? “Robbins...keeps the pace fast and the courtroom scenes convincing” (The New York Times Book Review) in this sensational thriller by a true DC legal insider.

THE PRESIDENT'S LAWYER - I did not care for this story. The characters did not interest me. The pace was a bit slow. I felt bombarded by the vulgar language, and I did not care for the depravity. Basically, just an average story. The last chapter was interesting. Source: Netgalley. 3*
