#2021monoplychallange - St. Charles Place - book with black cover

First of all,   this book was written in 1995. The world was different then.  Now reading a book that has racial slurs and unnecessary violence was difficult to read. 

Jake is an attorney who makes a wrong decision in trying to protect his family from a man with a mental problem.  Unknowingly he gets involved with a mob guy and soon finds himself  on trial for murder.

This was a decent legal thriller with twists and turns that I did not always see coming.

Goodreads : Sold to Hollywood for nearly $3 million, this blockbuster thriller pulls readers into its stranglehold of terror in the tradition of Cape Fear. Having survived a childhood of beatings and psychological torture, successful Manhattan lawyer Jacob Schiff cherishes his stable family life with his wife, a psychiatric social worker, and his son. But Jake sees it all unraveling when John Gates, a homeless man who has become his wife's patient, starts stalking her and menacing the family.
