Publisher's summary

Prosecutor Jessie Black has an airtight case against Tyrone Nash, a gang thug who shot a man behind a bar in West Philly. But what should be an easy trial turns complicated when Nash somehow intimidates her eyewitness, and he recants his testimony on the eve of the trial. Now Jessie's only move to stop the killer from walking is to call a witness she had hoped to avoid - Reggie Tuck, a smooth-talking jailhouse snitch who claims Nash confessed to him during a short time they shared a cell. Worse, there are other people with an interest in the trial - people intent on silencing Reggie's big mouth, permanently. Soon Jessie and Reggie find themselves trapped in a courthouse taken hostage by armed assailants. She must find a way to keep both Reggie and herself alive long enough to learn who they are and how to stop them. But is Reggie Tuck's life worth protecting at the risk of her own?

Xe Sands is excellent narrator

I always enjoy listening to her. Any author who cannot write a good book without using poor choice of words, which the story would be better without, will not get more than 4 stars from me.

Too many characters!

Good story… However there are way too many characters. It is complicated to keep track of everybody with having so many characters in a story that’s not even that long.

Over the top thrill, minimal legal

Book 2 of the Jesse Black series. I listened to this audiobook. The writing was good, the characters were well-developed and the narration was also good. That being said, the action was swift and suspenseful initially but built to the point of being ridiculous. The takeover of the courthouse was implausible and Jessie went from being a good attorney to Wonder woman - super human and bullet proof. What could have been a really good legal thriller was married by too much over the top "thrill" and not enough "legal".

Lots of action and suspense!

Informant is the second novel in the ADA Jesse Black series. There is lots of action, but not much of it is in a courtroom. The suspense is extreme. I hope this series continues! Xe Sands is a very accomplished narrator.

More police procedural than legal thriller

Enjoyed story and narration. Kept me guessing. Not much legal analysis for nerdy lawyers but interesting!

Great story !

I love XE Sands. The story was great. Kept me interested. Just enough action. Not a lot of gorge.
Even better than the first.

Great legal thriller

I enjoyed the clean story. There is violence and people being killed. The escape from one deadly situation into the hands of a rougue lawman was intense. I recommend this book.
