The Memory Trap
In the early 1960s, Rob Chambers, a brilliant young Dallas attorney fresh out of law school with an exceptional memory, finds himself ensnared in a dangerous game of money laundering by the son of his firm’s largest client. If Rob refuses to participate, everyone dear to him will be murdered, starting with the woman he cherishes.
Propelled by fear for her safety, he’s thrown into a world of lies, deceit, and abuse of the legal system he swore to uphold. Rob manages to keep his involvement hidden until an unexpected connection to the Kennedy assassination exposes him to the FBI, and his skillful efforts of concealment come unraveled. Now, hunted by the FBI and in the crosshairs of ruthless drug lords who will stop at nothing to find them, he and the woman he loves are inescapably cornered.
Desperate to save her, he’s left with only one choice. Take matters into his own hands and break free from this trap before it destroys both of them.
