A fun and witty thriller, The Fanling Conspiracy is the first in the Conspiracy Series by Michael Peart, appropriately dubbed “A light-hearted legal thriller.”
Roberts McCann, the firm Ben McCann started five years ago with his best friend, Dylan Roberts, is financially struggling and needs an influx of money. It looks as though Ben’s prayers are answered when a new client, representing a local Hong Kong clan, retains the firm to get back the Fanling temple from the corrupt government, but things quickly turn into a nightmare when the trial judge is stabbed to death and Tyler Scott, a solicitor with Ben’s firm, is charged with the judge’s murder. With Tyler’s future on the line, Ben scrambles to find the truth, putting his own life in jeopardy…
Peart gives readers an irreverent look at the challenges of practicing law in Hong Kong. Although a legal thriller, his style of writing is entertaining and humorous without being overly prone to “legalese.” The characters of Ben and Dylan are particularly engaging, despite their many flaws. Although there are some grammatical and punctuation challenges, the book has a solid plot and provides plenty of twists to keep things interesting throughout.
Overall, The Fanling Conspiracy is a great start to what promises to be an entertaining series.
