Mouse In The Box

"Mouse in the Box is a realistic perspective of the trials and tribulations of being a criminal defense attorney … I read it on vacation and had a hard time putting the book down." -Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series

In a city consumed by violence and injustice, an attorney finds himself at the center of a legal storm, forced to question his own beliefs and fight for justice against all odds…

It’s a record year for violent crime in Milwaukee.

For hard-charging criminal defense attorney Mason Mitchell, that means business is booming.

Every day, he defends drug dealers, gangbangers, and killers. Every night, he tries to wash it all away with vodka. Now, two new cases will shake the city and Mason’s faith in the system.

When his world becomes a volatile cocktail of bad cops, racial tension, and murder, where will Mason turn for real justice?

Prepare for a thrilling ride through the gritty streets of Milwaukee, where attorney Mason Mitchell's pursuit of justice brings him face-to-face with corrupt cops, dangerous criminals, and a fight for his own survival in this electrifying courtroom thriller.

Lewis Allan is a pen name used by the two authors behind Mason Mitchell — a veteran criminal defense attorney, and a well-traveled freelance writer. These childhood friends reconnected after thirty plus years to create a story that is entirely fictional, except for Clyde, who is 100% real. Mouse In The Box is their debut novel.
