Genre: Legal Fiction

382 pages
About the Book:

Can he trust his client's dreams and visions-even when they threaten to destroy his future?

Supernatural visions filled with images of keys, hatchets, hammers, and fires. An eccentric old man in jail-accused of robbing a church and knowing things he has no right to know. A lawyer turned pastor-suddenly summoned to a stranger's cell by a dream.

How much will one man risk to defend another, when the truth lands him in prison...and the only evidence proving his innocence comes by a dream?








My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐


I liked the way the book opened and was quickly intrigued on where the story would go, but then it seemed to change direction and dragged, taking forever to explain anything that was happening. The dream portions were a bit strange, and I didn't always follow how the characters formed the conclusions they did. I was intrigued by the lawyer turned pastor and the church politics when he agreed to represent someone pro bono. I felt like the church stuff was depicted accurately, showing sadly how badly humans can treat one another. There are two legal cases happening, and while one takes forever to play out, the second one was rushed, and I didn't fully understand how the corruption was taking place. I did really enjoy the way Peg supported Mike in everything and the friendship formed between them and Sam & Murial. I also liked the direction that Mike's life was heading at the end of the book. Overall, I feel like the book was too long and dragged out.

(I purchased my copy of this book; opinions expressed
