Manning Wolfe does a slow grab while developing the characters of Dead by Proxy as three-dimensional individuals. Byron Douglas is an unforgettable man with a passion for the law. He defends high-profile cases. He gets involved with a questionable client who repeatedly refuses the advice he stresses and takes the stand to defend himself. Big Mistake! The action accelerates as Byron’s life is threatened, and the FBI turns the other cheek.  Byron’s drastic measures changed his life in ways an average person would not consider.

The author artfully throws twists and turns that keep readers on the edge of their seats. The threads are enticing and keep the energy flowing as rapidly as pages flip to identify the mastermind hiding in the shadows. The honor and soul of Byron are repeatedly tested as his heart is broken more than once as he risks his life after changing his identity. The uphill battle seems never-ending, with hitmen, liars, and murdered loved ones. This action-packed story plays upon all the senses with vivid, recognizable descriptions of the places, unmistakable smells, terrifying sounds, and unforgettable images to haunt one’s dreams.
