Inner Client

Jonathan Conrad is a brilliant Manhattan criminal attorney with a conscience-and a problem. Despite prodigious legal skills, he's drowning in debt, and facing eviction from both office and home, which endangers his beloved wife April and their two little boys. Enter Virez. A mysterious billionaire with a fortune to burn, Virez makes a dizzyingly enticing offer to Jonathan. The catch? A labyrinth of mystery and secrecy, and the creeping sense that the case may not be the only thing binding attorney and client. As wealth and power flood in, Jonathan and April are thrust into a high-stakes world of corporate warfare, shadowy enemies, and legal and corporate espionage. And Jonathan will need all his skills and mental stability, to survive. But when the risks escalate with a murder and invasion of their home, Jonathan and April realize that this is deeply personal, and Jonathan must confront events of his childhood from which he has run, all his life. Inner Client is a layered, explosive psychological thriller with many unpredictable twists, that explores memory, morality, and the high cost of genius. In an intricately layered merging of legal suspense and emotional depth, Dr. Mann's first work of fiction tells the story of a man who sacrifices himself to find the truth-and the woman who will risk everything to save him.
