Now, in the wake of another client's death—a client Kevin had fallen in love with—Kevin would run again if only he could pull himself free from a couple of high-profile, high-risk cases. The FBI is investigating the poisoning of a young woman who happened to be Governor Wade Omphrey's mistress. The governor was off the island at the time, but that doesn't mean that he didn't order the hit or that he doesn't need a hotshot lawyer like Corvelli defending him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the DEA raids a local meth lab and Turi Ahina is picked up in the sweep. A career criminal, Ahina has set Corvelli up with plenty of client referrals, but Corvelli owes him for much more than that ever since Ahina saved his life. Now Ahina's only way out is to turn in the big man, and he can't just tell the FBI who it is—they already know that. He needs to find him and set a trap, a trap that won't succeed without Corvelli's help. The plan is simple, as foolproof and dangerous as a suicide attempt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the stakes rise, Corvelli gets drawn in deeper and deeper until the only way he can escape is to stick it out to the end in \u003ci\u003eLast Lawyer Standing\u003c\/i\u003e, Douglas Corleone's most compelling legal mystery yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A perfect blend of mystery and thriller, with laugh out loud moments sprinkled liberally throughout.
