    About this audiobook

    An American Lawyer in Paris Jail . . .

    A bright young Texas lawyer determined to make it on his own leaves the DA's Office to pursue a career as a criminal defense attorney. Just months later, he finds himself at the center of an international Ecstasy drug trafficking ring. As a charismatic negotiator, Lawyer X ignores danger and resurrects a deal gone bad. Caught red-handed in Paris, France, he lands in prison indefinitely.

    Isolated from his culture and marked as l'Americain, he is focused on staying alive at a time when Anglo-Franco relations are at an all-time low. Facing years in French prison and multiple life terms in the United States, Lawyer X must protect his best friend's innocence and salvage his own dignity. His mentor, a legendary Dallas attorney, fights to keep him from becoming a casualty in the War on Drugs.

      Jake Banks opens his soul and exposes his tragic story of greed, guilt and hopefully, redemption. Drugs make you stupid, youth expands bad decisions and we all know where pride goeth. But I believed his every written word; the excitement, fear, despair and frustrated hope. He lays out his story in a fast and dizzying pace just as lively as any action movie, but more honestly explains the shame and emotional losses. Watch him grow on the pages, but I dare you to know where he finally lands. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
