Judgment Day — Andrew Neiderman

2-IN-1 THRILLER SET! At long last: the prequel to The Devil's Advocate -- packaged together with that original novel, which Al Pacino, Keanu Reaves, and Charlize Theron turned into a blockbuster movie. Revealing the story of how the law firm of John Milton & Associates came to be, this will change forever how you think of the original The Devil's Advocate book and the major motion picture that made it a household name.

When the promising young attorney of a prestigious law firm is found dead on the sidewalk twenty stories below his posh New York apartment, everyone rules it as a suicide. Everyone except Lieutenant Matthew Blake -- a detective with a legendary track record and a notoriously unorthodox style. Blake sees something more nefarious in the attorney's death, and he slowly uncovers a murder plot so twisted that it could only have been concocted by the devil himself.

Coincidentally (or perhaps not) John Milton -- a handsome, charming, and unflappable defense attorney -- strolls into the grieving law firm with a mind to replace the unfortunate attorney. Little does the firm know that Milton's plan extends far beyond just becoming a partner.
