Small-town lawyer Bocephus Haynes comes home late one night to find District Attorney General Helen Lewis waiting for him. Her ex-husband has just been killed. She’s about to be arrested for his murder. And she wants Bo to represent her. There’s a lot working against them. Just before his death, Helen’s ex-husband threatened to reveal a dark secret from her past. Bo has been in a tailspin since his wife’s death. What’s more, his whole life has been defined by a crime committed against his family, and he continues to face prejudice as the only African American litigator in Pulaski, Tennessee. Bo’s back is against the wall, and Helen resigns herself to a dismal fate―but a stunning discovery throws everything into chaos. There’s a chance for justice, but to achieve it, the cost might be too much for Bo to bear. Review: Excellent! - This was a terrific read! Just when I thought I was completely jaded by my reviews, grading them generally at 4 or lower, along comes “Legacy of Lies” with a well deserved 5 rating. I don’t re tell story lines in my reviews. I leave summaries to other reviewers or the author’s fly leaf. Instead, I look at Plot, Character Development, Rising/Falling Action, Anti Climax (where warranted), and Resolution. My goal is to entice fellow would be readers, by my review, to read the book. This book excelled in all the above categories. I regard a great Plot as one, in which, when I start the read, I do not want to stop reading. Simply stated, I want to know what happens next, more than lay the book down for whatever reason. This book had great plot from page one to page last. Character Development of both protagonists and antagonists is well defined. Nothing confusing about who was “good” and who was “bad”. To be sure, the character “Bo” as chief protagonist is good, whereas chief antagonist “Z” is bad. Helen Lewis, the District Attorney “General” for the county in Tennessee where the criminal trial takes place is a little of both (no ***Spoiler Alert*** here). The Rising Action follows the procedural lines of a typical criminal trial and is very linear in that it starts low and rises in anxiety level to a crescendo to the Falling Action. As in this case, Falling Action slows after the jury verdict, but then the Anti Climax kicks in and it’s off to the races again! The Resolution, in the aftermath of the fore going, is one of the best I have read in a while. Generally, I find the ending of a story to be either sappy or just plain maudlin. Not so in this case. In my view, the author gives us two anti climaxes: one to determine the outcome of the criminal proceeding and another to deal with the after math—which, is exceedingly clever. I plan to follow this writer on other books he has written. Hopefully, any of his others will be as good as was this one. I certainly recommend this book as an excellent legal thriller. Review: Bring on more - I snatched up this book because I got an early copy of the second book in this series. I cannot say that I am disappointed. This new-to-me author is one I can't wait to read more of. So, this series is a spin-off from the author's previous series, which I realized very quickly there was a lot of backstory I didn't have. However, that was okay. Even though I would have preferred to have been more informed on the characters, the fact that I wasn't didn't ruin the book for me. I was able to breeze through this book with no issues. I will be going back and reading the previous series though. I can say that with absolute guarantee. This book had me guessing and second guessing myself all the way through. I thought I knew. Then I changed my mind. I was back and forth with the who from the very start. And let me say, I didn't fully see THAT coming at the very end. However, I think the who is exactly who it should have been, considering. (Am I confusing you?) This book is the kind of mystery that I typically crave. It's suspenseful. It has enough twists and turns to keep my mind constantly on the book. It has great, developed characters with some very real and interesting pasts that align with their present. The plot is spot on. I can't really sing enough praises for this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #222,460 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #31 in Legal Thrillers (Books) #283 in Murder Thrillers #365 in Conspiracy Thrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 35,369 Reviews | ## Images ![Legacy of Lies: A Legal Thriller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QSPx4xxRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent! *by R***R on May 7, 2020* This was a terrific read!

Since I read about 15 books per month I am hard to please and really get excited when I find a book that holds my interest to the point I can't put it down. This book is a five star plus read. It is well written with well developed characters and is not predictable. It has rwists and surprises that enhance the story. For once I read a book with an ending I was unable to predict. For me that is a most enjoyable reading experience. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/206170956-legacy-of-lies-a-legal-thriller](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/206170956-legacy-of-lies-a-legal-thriller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
