Bend. Don't Break.

Jason Thomas doesn't defend innocent people.
He defends people the prosecution can't prove are guilty.
When actress Dani Reyes is arrested for the murder of Hollywood producer Conrad Hale, the evidence is straightforward: her fingerprints, her text messages, her car on the neighbor's security camera. She was there. She had motive. The prosecution has everything they need.
Except Jason Thomas has been doing this long enough to know that everything they need and everything that happened are rarely the same thing.
Working from his Venice office with his sharp-edged paralegal Lily Chen and investigator Darius Webb, Jason builds a defense on the only foundation that matters- reasonable doubt. But the deeper he digs into Conrad Hale's world, the more he finds that Dani Reyes isn't the only one with something to hide. A star witness with a secret. A phone call nobody can explain. A gap in the evidence that the investigation never looked for because nobody thought to look.
And a client who has been telling him exactly what he needs to hear and nothing more.
Bend. Don't Break. is a razor-sharp legal thriller about the gap between truth and proof, and the lawyers who live in the space between them.
