Publisher's summary

Attorney Nate Shepherd returns to represent a city councilman accused of murder. His client is unlikeable, abrasive, and rude. But is he a killer?

Nate Shepherd must try a murder case. Fast.

When a powerful politician is arrested for killing a local business owner, he hires Nate on one condition—Nate must try the case within ninety days. He has a rock-solid alibi and wants to prove his innocence before his opponents can destroy his career.

Working with his fiery associate and his two oldest friends, Nate scrambles to pull the case together. But once the trial date is set, Nate's strategy falls apart as new witnesses and damning facts emerge, evidence that Nate's client curiously forgets to mention every single time.

Battered by a collapsing case and an ungrateful client, Nate barrels ahead. But on the eve of trial, an unexpected shock in Nate's family threatens to derail it all. Fighting through doubt of his client—and worse, of himself—Nate enters a trial he must not lose.

Swift Judgment is the seventh book in the gripping Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller series. If you like razor-sharp dialogue, captivating characters, and riveting trials, you'll love this fierce courtroom drama by Michael Stagg.

Always making it real.

I like this series, the tone, the store, law and family ( all the characters are family one way or another).

AI is Here!

I loved the AI references, great for 2024 since this is the new concert for the public. I believe it's possible.

Loved it

I’ve listened to all in this series so far. Each are equally entertaining and well worth the time invested to listen. Stagg has an amazing talent to tell a story dripping with what has to be his real life. Legal terms and process explained so anyone can comprehend and in a way that enhances the story just at the right times. To hear him describe the situation with father made me cry- literally !!! This is a gifted story teller who I hope goes on to write 100 more books about Nate Shep “herd”. I’ll listen to every one of them 2x!!! Thanks you Michael Stagg. Amazing work.
