Dead Bolt: Jay Brandon

Grey Stanton, lawyer, is taking a sabbatical from the hard-edge criminal law courts to write books and spend time with his wife and child on their remote and peaceful Texas homestead. The peace and quiet is disrupted by a young female student who visits to ask about an old case - an assault and robbery that Grey's all but forgotten. Then he receives a series of bizarre visits from his former client, a dangerous man whose awkward words become menacing...Simon Hockley isn't interested in justice. He's on a mission to recover the money he stashed before doing time and he's certain Stanton knows where to find it. He threatens Stanton's wife and daughter, forcing the lawyer to learn to law of survival at all costs.
