About this audiobook

In The Justice Game by Christy Award-winning author Randy Singer, a brutal murder triggers a gun-rights debate with wide-ranging consequences. When a man guns down a pregnant reporter on live TV, her husband sues the manufacturer of the killer's firearm. As opposing lawyers ignite the courtroom with their eloquence and theatrics, a shadowy cabal threatens the advocates and the justice they seek.

    If you are an avid reader of books in the legal genre, you'll love this.High profile trials are big business and Justice Inc, a company that deals in projecting trial decisions, earns its money by advising investment managers how to invest on the companies affected by trial outcomes.Jason Noble worked for Justice Inc., playing his lawyer role before shadow juries--juries selected to mimic the real jury--to get to the decision before the actual trial came to a close thus allowing Justice Inc. investors to invest accordingly. He was eventually fired from his position because he was too good, going that extra mile in the trial process and outshining the actual lawyers on the case and affecting the verdict of the shadow juries.Kelly Starling, another past Justice Inc. employee, had left the company several years ago and was working for a large firm. When a young, pregnant, female reporter gets killed in the studio by an irate man she was investigating, a lawsuit develops against the manufacturer of the weapon and Kelly becomes the lawyer for the plaintiff--the woman's husband.Jason had opened his own practice and finds himself representing MD Firearms, the defendant in the case.Both with personal secrets they would rather stay hidden, Kelly and Jason become the victims of blackmail by an individual named Luthor who is attempting to manipulate them and the outcome of the trial.An engrossing book with an interesting perspective on jury selection and the big business that goes on behind the scenes of major trials.Recommended.

    Excellent! The author went out of his way to “balance “ the tables between the complainant and the defense. It gave me a much better view of both sides of the argument. Thanks for this.

    I was not at all familiar with Singer's other works, of which there are apparently quite a few. The story unfolded smoothly, and the characters were pretty well-drawn and interesting. The premise was unusual. Justice Inc. is an organization that conducts "shadow trials" of big cases in order to come up with the expected outcome in time for its corporate clients to sell/buy stock and make a profit. When two of its "alumni" lawyers meet up on opposite sides of a landmark gun-control case, they find themselves being manipulated by a blackmailer and have to find a way to do what he commands in order to protect their personal secrets.It's a sad commentary on our times that I found the idea of an organization such as Justice Inc. completely plausible, but my credulity was strained at the coincidence that two young lawyers would both not only be alumni of the same organization but also have deep, dark secrets in their past that would tempt them to cooperate with a blackmailer influencing the case. Far more interesting was the actual case, a debate on whether gun manufacturers are responsible when criminals use their product to commit a crime. In an introduction, Singer says he was at pains not to promote one side over the other, and he does allow both sides to make strong points. In a real-life nod to the Justice Inc. he created for the narrative, Singer says he presented the case to his own "shadow jury", and the outcome of the book's trial reflects the decision of that focus group. Overall, it was an interesting, enjoyable read, although it felt a bit preachy at times. I would definitely consider reading other books written by Singer.

    Confession first.

    I listened to this book as an escape from my everyday CEO life and stacks of business, spiritual and self help books.

    What I found, as I became enraptured in Randy Singers brilliant storytelling was a thread of powerful parables for everyday life.

    As a Christ-follower, I cringe at formalistic stories of struggle that offer cliche ‘shoulds’ that leave me feeling empty (and often discouraged) rather than hopeful.

    I love how Randy developed the depth of each character.

    How he wove, believable, faith-filled personalities into the narrative who did not make me want to vomit.

    And best of all, the golden Easter egg...

    To learn at the end of the audio book the actual story that inspired the book and how the author chose the ending was a goosebump induced thrill!

    Thank you Randy for inspiring growth in me as a man, leader and fellow storyteller.

    Back a bunch of years later to listen to it again in 2024, and enjoyed it the second time. The twists and turns were enough to keep me guessing AGAIN. Wow. That doesn't happen much...

    Earlier: Excellent narrator for an excellent story! Had no idea how this one was going to end until the end, and that’s a rare thing for me.

    Thoroughly enjoyed it, but don’t plan on being able to concentrate on much else while you’re listening!
