The Choice — Barry Reed

Since we last saw him, Frank Gavin has joined a blue-chip Boston law firm as its star litigator. When young attorney Antonia Alvarez comes to him with evidence that a new wonder drug is causing birth defects in the Portugese population of Massachusetts, he's intrigued enough to become involved. But Galvin's firm represents the corporation in question, and he cannot accept the case. Antonia joins forces with Frank's old partner, Moe Katz, the feisty, aging lawyer who taught Galvin how to battle the establishment, to fight what appear to be impossible odds. Against the backdrop of the American and British legal systems, Barry Reed paints a fascinating portrait of a ferocious legal battle in which the truth lies deeply buried, and where Galvin must ultimately fight an internal battle between duty and honor.
