Harbour Hustle 2

The debt has come due, and the price is paid in secrets. In the second installment of the Wade Calder saga, the cold winds of March are blowing across Lake Champlain, bringing with them a darkness that even Wade can't litigate away. Wade Calder has built his reputation defending the defenseless under the neon hum of the Rusty Anchor. But his past is catching up to him in the form of Rudy Dube, a shadow figure who holds the markers on Wade's life. When Dube's nephew is hauled in by federal authorities on high-level trafficking charges, the favor is called in. Wade is no longer just an attorney; he's a man caught between the law and a debt that could destroy everyone he loves. The federal courtroom in Burlington is a different beast entirely. Across the aisle stands Fiona Chen, a ruthless prosecutor from the Justice Department with a Yale degree and a point to prove. To survive the onslaught, Wade takes a chance on Jade Navarro, a brilliant, tattoo-clad associate with nothing to lose and a mind for the kind of legal warfare Wade needs to win. While Sophie anchors the office and Deke investigates the fractured lines of the Dube empire, Wade must navigate a web of human trafficking, witness intimidation, and a federal conspiracy that reaches far beyond the Port Bannock docks. The evidence is solid. The victim is terrified. And Rudy Dube is watching. In Harbour Hustle II, Wade Calder is about to learn that in a town built on secrets, the only thing more dangerous than losing a case is winning one for the wrong man.
