    About this ebook

    How far will a man go to protect his family?Attorney Sam Trask will go farther than he ever dreamed, even in his worst nightmare. Because his worst nightmare is about to come true…At age forty-seven, attorney Sam Trask finally seems to have his life in order. The dark years of too much drinking and all-consuming ambition have given way to Christian faith. His marriage is strong again. Everything seems finally on the right track. Then a voice from the past comes back to say hello.Suddenly Sam faces a danger more real than he ever imagined—danger from someone who will not rest until Sam’s life comes crashing down around him. Desperate, Sam seeks protection from the law he’s served all his life. But when the threats are turned on his family, and the law seems powerless to protect them, Sam must consider a choice that strikes at the heart of his life and faith—whether to take the law into his own hands.

      Another intense story; about a sociopath person out to make life fall apart for Attorney Sam Trask and his family. It wasn't a pleasant story line, but the author did a great job of making it seem very real.Sam Trask thinks he has his life in order now that his dark days of drinking and all-consuming ambition have been given over to his Christian faith. But things will slowly start to unravel when an old college student seeks to gain access into his life. First his daughter goes off the deep end and wants to leave home and pursue her band and singing and wants nothing to do with her parents and their rules. Sam's job will suffer because of all his distractions and he will finally have to leave his law office. But the one constant is the way this man keeps showing up in Sam's life and causing disaster. It will climax in him taking their daughter and Sam having to on his own take off after her. As the title states, there is 'no legal grounds' to take this man down, so how far will Sam go to rescue his daughter and get rid of this mentally disturbed man. And just when you think the story is over, its not.
