The Client
What's it about
What would you do if you held a secret that could bring down the mob, but telling it would get you killed? For eleven-year-old Mark Sway, this isn't a hypothetical question. He's the only one who knows where a murdered senator is buried, a secret that puts him between the FBI and a ruthless hitman. You'll discover how Mark navigates a deadly game of cat and mouse, forced to hire a tough, recovering alcoholic lawyer to protect him. This gripping legal thriller explores the terrifying choices a child must make when the law can't guarantee his safety and silence is his only shield against powerful enemies.
