The Lawyer’s Game by Cole Baxter
English | 2024 | Psychological Thriller
In a room full of strangers, the only thing more dangerous than the truth is the person who knows it…
James Arnold, a cocky tech mogul, owes his wealth to secrets he’d rather keep buried. But when his best friend and corporate lawyer, Bertram Caulfield, invites him to an exclusive ski resort for a getaway with colleagues, James sees it as an opportunity to indulge his ego—and seduce Helen, a beautiful young woman who happens to be someone else’s girlfriend.
A sudden snowstorm locks the group in, and Bertram proposes a game: a mock courtroom where they’ll reexamine famous legal cases. James, eager to charm Helen, volunteers to play her “defendant.” What starts as a harmless diversion quickly spirals into something sinister.
As the group delves into James’s life, the “trial” turns uncomfortably personal, peeling back the layers of his past. His deepest secrets are exposed, and he realizes too late that this isn’t just a game. It’s a reckoning—and the people in this room might just be his judge, jury, and executioners.
James has always used his fortune to escape consequences. This time, there’s nowhere to run.
