THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT

Criminal defense attorney Talon Winter holds a man's life in her hands. Ezekiel Frazier is just another small time drug user, until he gets pulled over in someone else's car with a gun under the seat. Now his past catches up to him and he's facing Strike Three, and a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Talon doesn't just have to battle a heartless prosecutor who's using the case to get her next promotion. She also has to deal with a social justice lawyer who wants her to throw the case for the greater good, a former investigator who wants to be more than just friends, and her own brother--fresh out of prison with nowhere else to go. It's her chance to win a big case, and save a man's life. But can she really ignore her other chances: to fix the law, to fix her relationships, to fix her brother? She might just have to, if she really wants to be the lawyer she really wants to be.

Talon is a crackerjack lawyer—a warrior. She has herself centered on doing the very best for her clients. She loves the battle of the courtroom and she’s excellent at battle plans. It’s an interesting and fun read.

Book 2: Talon Winters has moved ahead a little since leaving the fancy big law firm and branching out with her practice. Talon has accepted cases from public defender’s office to subside her income, but they have been not to challenging so when she realizes she was given a Strike Three case she jumps on it. Fighting to keep the case of Ezekiel Frazier wasn’t easy but Talon when Prosecutor Laura Alcott sees this case a promotion to the area of law she would prefer and Talon as determined to do the very best for her client. Marshall Lenox a friend director with the National Appellate Justice Project wants Talon’s client to plea guilty so they can appeal the three strike rule.
Stephen Penner has once again written a grab you book and you will quickly find yourself drawn into the story of Talon, Curt Fairchild Investigator, office secretary Hannah Trimble, or office mates Greg Olsen, Elizabeth Comstock, and the continued story of Talon’s brother William.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hate to give the book a three
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019
Court can determine whether the defendant receives freedom or incarceration and the right or wrong lawyer can make a difference. Racism is a fact of life and how it can effect the outcome a person’s life. I felt Talon in the novel emphasized the racial aspect of the case too much ( others of course would strongly object ). Race certainly can be a factor, the question is to what degree. If I was a juror based on the facts I would probably vote to convict and Talon would have lost the case. Slightly recommend.

Talon Winter is a great character and Stephen Penner is a terrific storyteller. Put the two together and you have a fascinating book that grabs your interest from the first sentence to the last. I was torn between wanting to keep reading to find out what would happen and wanting to slow down to keep it from ending. This one has everything: interesting characters, exciting plot, serious issues. I'm already waiting impatiently for the next Talon Winter book.

An interesting and educational read. It provided some real insight to the role of a defence lawyer and the difference from being a Prosecutor. You gain a sense of the strategy taken to create reasonable doubt with the jury. Complimented with a touch of humour..

An excellent grip of American law. Keeps you on tenterhooks. Winters Law is a first for me in feminine tenacity and comprehension. Few writers have such an immense understanding and compassion for people in emotional trouble without having the strength of mind to stand back from the desperation of others. Thoroughly reccommend for people who are not dismayed by bad scenariose. Bluebin.

If you enjoy a book with a great story, believable characters and a real page turner spend a couple of dollars and buy this book. I have read all of Stephen Penners novels in the Dave Brunelle series and the Talon Winter novels, are, in my opinion , even better. I really enjoy the way the story is told in a straight forward logical way which gives the reader a great insight into the workings of the legall system. I love legal thrillers but have been disappointed with so many of them (Grisham for example) but enjoyed Talon Winter novel 2 so much I immediately purchased novel 3 and cannot wait to start reading it! Without hesitation I rate this a 5 star novel!

Talon advocates so strongly for her clients and with her quirky sense of humour, you find her just so engaging. Another big thumbs up from me. Looking forward to more of these books.
