THE DEPOSIT SLIP
$10,000,000 Is Missing.
Erin Larson is running out of options. In the wake of her father's death, she found a slim piece of paper--a deposit slip--with an unbelievable amount on it. Only the bank claims they have no record of the money, and trying to hire a lawyer has brought only intimidation and threats. Erin's last chance is Jared Neaton.
How Far Will One Lawyer Go to Find the Money?
When Jared wearied of the shady ethics of his big law firm and started his own, he never expected the wheels to fly off so quickly. One big loss has pushed him to the brink, and it's all he can do to scrape by.
And How Far Will Someone Go to Stop Him?
He's not sure if Erin's case is worth the risk, but if the money is real, all his problems could vanish. When digging deeper unleashes something far more dangerous than just threats, both Jared and Erin must decide the cost they're willing to pay to discover the truth.
My Review:
A young Perry Mason or Ben Matlock came to mind as I read The Deposit Slip. It has the same intrinsic legal details (though they don't overpower the story so are easy for a layperson like myself to understand) and Johnson really knows how to build dramatic tension as he slowly reveals clues as the case progresses. In fact by mid-point in my read I'd reached that familiar 'really-good-suspense-phenomena' that has me alternately wanting to skip ahead to find out what happens, throw the book across the room because the bad guys are soooooooo nefarious or just give up reading altogether and make up my own ending. LOL. Honestly, my heart was just racing at the end.
Johnson's thirty years as an attorney brings the courtroom battle to life in a way no amount of lay research could. Drawing on that knowledge he has created a compelling debut novel with enough twists and turns to keep his readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.
