No Time To Run (Legal Thriller Featuring Michael Collins)
Like John Grisham and D.W. Buffa, J.D. Trafford created a smart legal thriller that keeps the reader turning pages.
Michael Collins burned his suits and ties in a beautiful bonfire before leaving New York and taking up residence at Hut No. 7 in a run-down Mexican resort. He dropped-out, giving up a future of billable hours and big law firm paychecks. But, there are millions of dollars missing from a client's account and a lot of people who want Michael Collins to come back. When his girlfriend is accused of murder, he knows that there really isn't much choice.
SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE in celebration of the release of Book #2----"No Time To Die"---- the sequel to "No Time To Run"
There's a smartphone app that can crash a plane. And it's for sale to the highest bidder . . .
Attorney Sasha McCandless is closing in on the prize after eight long years: she's months away from being made partner at a prestigious law firm. All she has to do is keep her head down and her billable hours up. Then a plane operated by her client slams into the side of a mountain, killing everyone aboard. Sasha gears up to prepare a defense to the inevitable civil lawsuits.
She quickly realizes the crash was no accident: a developer has created an application that can control a commercial plane's onboard computer from a smartphone. Sasha joins forces with a federal air marshal who's investigating the crash. As they race to prevent another disaster, people close to the matter start to die. And she's next on the list. Sasha will need to rely on her legal training and her Krav Maga training in equal measure to find and stop a madman before he strikes again.
Irreparable Harm is a taut introduction to an unforgettable protagonist.
