  Small-town lawyer Marko Bauer and sharp-tongued associate Allee Smith aren't eager to risk another courtroom disaster—especially not for Byron, a convicted kidnapper swearing innocence from his jail cell.
   
  But when a waitress at the Justice Bites restaurant brings them Byron's plea, something doesn't taste right. A sketchy voice ID, a basement crime scene that doesn’t exist, and a detective nursing grudges deeper than the county's riverbeds. Marko and Allee soon realize Byron might actually be telling the truth—this time. 
   
  Crafting a bold legal strategy, the duo pushes forward with a post-conviction relief hearing, hoping to secure Byron’s release. But freedom might unleash a darker side of Byron. His angry, entitled, and volatile demeanor is leaving those around him to wonder if they're freeing an innocent man—or releasing a ticking time bomb.
   
  Marko and Allee soon confront a troubling realization: some clients should never see daylight again.
   
  The Final Appeal, from Wall Street Journal bestselling author James Chandler and seasoned attorney Laura Snider, is a razor-sharp legal thriller brimming with justice, betrayal, and biting consequences. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and John Grisham.

  Tommy Dash, an unapologetic 60-year-old scuffling LA stand-up comedian, is trying to apologize his way back into show business, one burnt bridge and one more last chance at a time, during the last days of Pre-Trump America. Think Lewis Black, but a little angrier. Think Sam Kinison on a coke budget. Think Bill Maher, without the cable filter. Think Amy Schumer, with a slightly smaller set of balls. Think Samsonite, but with less baggage. A lot of people are waiting for their apology. Ex-wives, daughters, soon-to-be former girlfriends and three generations of fellow comics, celebrities and industry people along the redemptive path. But here's the thing with Tommy Dash. Before you may or may not get a sorry, you get a story. And as Tommy will tell you, he is in it for the stories. And so are we. Despite lovingly referring to himself as a Category 4 shitstorm, we root for him and his emerging heart. We want to hear about the wreckage, sure, but we keep hoping he'll land safely. (Cover art: JoAnna Perrin) Vintage Scheft! I loved it, but that's a given.... - Larry David (Dedicated to the late Nikki Finke, Tommy Dash's first and most steadfast friend)
