DEAVER. DANGEROUSLY GOOD. A spring night in a small town in Wisconsin. A call to police emergency from a distant lake house is cut short. Is it a phone glitch or something more sinister? Off-duty deputy Brynn McKenzie leaves her family's dinner table to find out... ...And stumbles onto the scene of a heinous murder. Before she can call for backup she finds herself the next potential victim. Deprived of her phone, weapon and car, Brynn flees, along with the only survivor of the crime. These unlikely allies can survive only by escaping into the dense, deserted woods, on a desperate trek to safety. And ultimately to a life or death choice. Flight. Or fight?

Graham Gowan is a new lawyer, starting in a prestigious, criminal defence firm. His first client is Edward Boyd, a rounder for a powerful organized crime family. Boyd tells Graham that he is being held in separate custody and labelled mentally unfit, to keep Boyd from exposing a conspiracy involving rogue police officers and international human traffickers. Graham follows the evidence to confirm Boyd's story, but Graham feels suppressed by his sister, a tax lawyer who falls in love with another junior lawyer at Graham's firm, and by his mother, who is worried that Graham is out of control. Graham must make a choice - either listen to Boyd and follow the evidence, or play it safe and dismiss the client as too crazy to be believed.
Milner Ball takes an experimental journey into the inner life of law and the careers of men and women who use it to help disadvantaged people and to strengthen the fabric of the communities in which they live. At the center of this book are portraits of seven contemporary legal practitioners—lawyers, judges, and advocates—who have devoted their lives to an unconventional vision of the law. In their work, in areas from New York City housing court to the Warm Springs reservation in Oregon, the law exemplifies fundamental human values, manifestations of what Ball calls the "Word," the presence of God in life. To develop this concept of the Word, Ball explores its workings in familiar literary and biblical texts, primarily William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, Toni Morrison's Beloved, the Book of Isaiah, and the Gospel of Mark.
