Michael found a file that can take down his old firm, Drake and Sweeney. "The book, The Street Lawyer, is about a man named Michael Brock who has changed from a lawyer close to partnership to a street lawyer helping the homeless. Because to them, Michael Brock is the most dangerous man on the streets. Now Michael's former partners are about to become his bitter enemies. But there's one break Michael can't make: from a secret that has floated up from the depths of Drake & Sweeney, from a confidential file that is now in Michael's hands, and from a conspiracy that has already taken lives. Rediscovering a conscience he lost long ago, Michael is leaving the big time for the streets where his attacker once lived-and where society's powerless need an advocate for justice. When it is all over, the man's blood is splattered on Michael's face-and suddenly Michael is willing to do the unthinkable.
A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm's plush offices. Then, in an instant, it all comes undone. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all. Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C.
