A music mogul dies at his own grand piano—hands shattered, piano wire biting his throat, blood slicking the keys. A quiet concert pianist is fed to the wolves—then Charlie Beretta walks in.
Beretta doesn’t enter a courtroom—he changes its gravity. Once Colorado’s Strongest Man, now 405-pounds of presence and purpose in a defense attorney, a former fighter who knows the difference between truth and a setup.
As Beretta steps into the fray, he strips back the gloss of Denver’s high society to expose a rotten underbelly of corruption, blackmail, affairs—and organized crime, where killers hide behind respectability, and powerful patrons protect their names at any cost.
To save his client, Beretta must run a dangerous gauntlet through secret donor suites, hidden back rooms, and bloodstained alleyways, confronting the system, the city, and his own ghosts. If he fails, an innocent man loses everything. If he wins, it may cost him his life.
It’s the most perilous and formidable trial of his career—but no lawyer is more formidable than Charlie Beretta.
This is justice that bites back and draws blood.
