Sam Johnstone, Book 4

By: James Chandler

Narrated by: James Anderson Foster

When the death of a cryptocurrency magnate shakes a small town, Sam Johnstone is thrown into a new and dangerous legal frontier.

As changes in Wyoming banking law bring an influx of crypto entrepreneurs to small-town Custer, attorney Sam Johnstone doesn’t think much of the new arrivals. But when a shocking crime throws him straight into the epicenter of the digital world, there’s no turning back.

The death of crypto exchange magnate Max Kovalenko shatters the community, sparking local outrage and a long list of suspects. With many betrayed partners, jealous competitors, and bitter family members left in his wake, Max has stepped on plenty of toes since his arrival, and finding his killer is no easy task.

When Kovalenko’s protégé is accused of killing his mentor, Sam is reluctant to represent him—but an enormous fee tendered by Kovalenko’s daughter convinces him to take the case. As he begins his client’s defense, Sam must navigate a complex web of family and business secrets in an environment he doesn’t fully understand, where nobody can be trusted to give him the truth.

In the high-stakes world of cryptocurrency, a ruthless new generation of entrepreneurs compete for control over digital assets whose value can skyrocket overnight—and some freshly minted digital fortunes are worth killing for…

Captivating and enjoyable

This is yet another great Sam Johnstone story. I’m looking forward to book #5 already.

careful who trust

Family is always a push and shave. but it can go to far when money is involved

Excellent read

I have really enjoyed this series. Mr Chandler is able to keep the plot constantly interesting and bring in defendants for Sam to represent that are always fun to get to know and three dimensional. And Sam is a fantastic main character - he is someone to root for but the author manages to keep him human and relatable. Loved it can’t wait for the next one.

Great book

nothing. I can't really think of anything. I like legal thrillers and I have listened to a number of them from different authors. This book was awesome.

Good Overall

Good story line and character development.. Liked the development of the plot through the book. Seemed believable in 2024.

Good Series

I really like this series. I’m looking forward to the next one. Good narrator too.

Good story line

Good entertainment! Good twists but a little predictable at the end. Still a good read

Legal mystery

Good story. Good narrator. Enjoyed this book of Lawyer Johnstone. Look forward to the next one.

Love This Series

Once again, the author has written a very intriguing novel and the storyline around Sam Johnstone, the brilliant yet troubled lawyer,
just continues to get more interesting. I did enjoy the character more in this book since he has quit drinking, although I’m never sure how long that will last. I was hesitant to start this book because I could see it was about bitcoin, and I know nothing about that whole topic, but this book was brilliantly written, and definitely held my interest. And it is screaming for a follow up regarding a different supporting character, who has played an important part in Sam’s life. Cannot wait for the next book in the series! Narration was excellent and I highly recommend.

Love the Courtroom Dramas

Love the Sam Johnstone courtroom drama. Can’t wait until the next book in series is released.
