About the Book

Lawyers, Lies, Corruption, Money and Murder! A father-daughter legal team scheme to keep their fortunes and law licenses, while Texas Matters Magazine and one of its young journalists frantically fight for their survival battling a "bet-the-company" libel case. Leah Rosen, a young reporter with Texas Matters Magazine, hires prominent Fort Worth attorney Jace Forman to defend her in a lawsuit filed by Cal Connors, a flamboyant plantiff lawyer with questionable ethics and a take-no-prisoners attitude. Connors' lawsuit seeks millions in damages allegedly caused by Rosen's article, which exposed a multi-million dollar fraud on the Texas jury system and, in the process, sparked a full-scale criminal investigation by the US Attorney into the conduct of Connors and his law partner and daughter Christine. Cornered and desperate, their freedom and fortunes at stake, Connors and his daughter go on a scorched-earth offensive, in a frantic attempt to derail the investigation.

Review :
"Crouch puts his years as a litigator to good use in his third legal thriller featuring Fort Worth, Tex., attorney Jace Forman (after 2015's The Word). ... Fast pacing and believable characters will make this a treat for fans of Steve Martini." -Publishers Weekly "With typically taut and colorful prose, Crouch (the Word, 2015, etc.) enlivens even the thorniest legal concepts that propel his intricate plot... A thoughtful and highly readable legal thriller."--Kirkus Reviews "Hubert Crouch has a knack for writing prose that is tight and with emotional insight... This story will absorb thriller fans that also enjoy compelling courtroom drama." --Readers Favorite; Five Stars Update: WINNER! Silver medal in Readers Favorite International Book Awards "This intricate legal thriller moves at a quick clip in a fascinating, corrupt small-town setting. In classic legal thriller style, Hubert Crouch jumps into The Weight with an ambiguous murder plot, one to be untangled piece by piece as the story moves along.... The Weight is an intricate legal thriller that focuses on the interactions between the defense and the prosecution, all set among small-town corruption and backroom dealings." --Foreword Reviews, Jennifer Miller From jury proceedings to legal profession interactions and associations, The Weight is a stellar account of a legal process gone awry and the seemingly impossible odds of fixing it, either inside or outside the courtroom. Its tension and unexpected twists will have readers on the edges of their seats right up to a conclusion, which is both satisfying and startling. The Weight is especially recommended for fans of John Grisham who like their courtroom dramas laced with surprise confrontations and their cases satisfyingly complex." - Midwest Book Review
