Fresh Start (3J Legal Thriller) Kindle Edition
A secret family legacy becomes a ticking time bomb ...
Skyscraper developer, Quincy Witherman, has continued his family's two-hundred-year practice of hiding assets in Switzerland. Now, needing protection from his creditors, he hires Kansas City bankruptcy lawyer Josephina Jillian Jones – 3J – but fails to disclose the Swiss assets to 3J, his bankers, the IRS, and the bankruptcy court ... all felonies.
3J knows in her gut that something is wrong. So does Witherman's banker, Stacy Milnes.
Will anyone catch him?

This legal thriller struck all the perfect chords for me! It will have you loving lawyers, understanding the complexity and fast-pace by business bankruptcy and for me …siding a bit with the underdog. Great read!!! Well written. Shaiken has you connecting with all his characters, while giving you a well defined look at the Bankruptcy process. I found myself planning to visit all the cleverly named Kansas City hot spots. I did not want it to end and am very hopeful for a next installment of all these fabulous characters.
Shanken's book "Fresh Start" weaves an intricate tale that makes bankruptcy, if not fun, interesting. Mark clearly knows his way around Kansas City, jazz, and bankruptcy court.
"Fresh Start" is a good read and I'm looking forward to his next "3J" offering.
Finally, depending on your view of financial issues you can pick one of the key character and say who is the bad guy, but as for me I was routing for the debtor and his GF to get away with it! Can’t wait for the next round of legal issues for 3J to tackle. Congrats on a great story Mark.
We would highly recommend this book, a very enjoyable (and for us, educational in some aspects) read.
