“TENKILL is dazzling in its voice, its pace, its setting, and its determination to use the law as a force for good. I hope Kirk is already working on a sequel.” —Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of House on Fire

"(An) intriguing legal thriller...fast pacing and plot twists...Greta and crew are capable of sustaining a sequel." —Publishers Weekly

“Kirk’s legal expertise is apparent in the investigation’s absorbing high-tech details, and the tense, carefully plotted chases through Boston’s streets have a cinematic quality.” —Booklist

A lawyer on the run from her own firm.

Can she uncover their secrets in time to save herself?

Greta Vinet Seville, E-Discovery Counsel and Deputy General Counsel at the law firm of Coarse & Cotton, finds herself on the run from her own firm, enlisting a diverse cast of friends and experts to help her comb through the mountains of data that confirms a trail of corruption that has shaped generations.

Her off-the-books, rag-tag legal team includes a genius litigation technology professional, a possibly psychopathic (but effective) summer associate, an AP investigative reporter, a classical painting art restorer, Greta’s philosophy professor brother, and Greta’s love interest, a compliance attorney at Tenkill. Romance, action, technology law, corruption are all explored, and married with Greta’s personal backstory about a renegade, vigilante aunt who’s been on the run for decades and fighting her own politically-charged battles.

They create a make-shift war room in a historic Salem, Massachusetts home, and their pursuit of more evidence leads them to a massive hospital—Tenkill—at the center of the corruption. But this investigation is like no other Greta has ever conducted, as people who have millions to lose and careers to ruin will kill to keep what she seeks to uncover secret. A surrealist thriller for fans of early John Grisham, with an all-female-led cast, and a twist ending that will shake you to your core.
