I think I really messed up yesterday while moving all that soil to the backyard. While I was out front in the morning, shoveling the soil from the truck to the wheelbarrow, I talked to my neighbors on either side of me before they left for the various work they had to do that day. I thought for sure that no one was around to hear me while I worked in the yard. I will admit I was pretty darn tired and I guess I still hadn’t recovered from shoveling soil last week, or maybe it was the allergies, but I wasn’t exactly whistling while I worked. In fact, I might have been less than PG with my language. There was a couple of times I almost bit it hard when trying to maneuver the very heavy wheelbarrow and almost lost control. With the temperature being an surprising hot 66 degrees, and even though my body was pretty darn tired, I didn’t take a break until I was finished. I pushed myself with colorful language. Not the F word, but I got creative with the lesser offensive words. It wasn’t until the last wheelbarrow full of dirt was finally dumped that I allowed myself to fall into a soft patio chair and let out my last word that was as colorful as a rainbow. After a moment of silence I heard it. The sound of gardening tools being used coming from the quiet neighbors fence. Oh no.

Rick Black and Jake McShane are former law school classmates with very different approaches to life and the law. Rick is a brilliant, ultracompetitive trial lawyer who believes winning is everything.

He is determined to exploit that weakness in our system, regardless of the havoc that wreaks on innocent lives. When an upstanding pillar of the community is victimized by Rick’s unscrupulous tactics, Jake is determined to bring his former classmate to justice — if he can do so without sacrificing his own integrity. Their approaches, skills and convictions are put to the test when they clash as opposing counsel in a high-stakes class action lawsuit. Dirty tricks, intimidation, intrigue — even homicide — become part of the backdrop as the litigation unfolds. Consequential Damages is a compelling legal drama full of twists, turns and suspense. And, it will make you think!
