A comedian’s joke sparks outrage. A violent crime exposes corruption. A lawyer searching for redemption takes on his most dangerous case yet.

When stand-up comic Verne Slater is brutally attacked after a controversial routine, his injuries ignite a storm of media attention and social debate. Called back into action after a six-month suspension, Chance Cormac—boxer, lawyer, and reluctant hero—steps in to defend Verne and uncover the truth behind the assault. But in a city where justice bends to power and anger hides behind every headline, Chance soon realizes the case is about far more than one man’s freedom of speech.

As Verne fights for justice and dignity, Chance must navigate a maze of rogue cops, corrupt lawyers, and buried secrets, all while facing the ghosts of his own past. Each revelation brings him closer to the line between defense and vengeance—and crossing it could cost him everything.

“Suspenseful, bold, and thought-provoking… intertwines social satire and legal intrigue with intelligence and heart.” — The Chrysalis Brew Project

“A masterful exploration of identity, justice, and redemption. Sharp dialogue, gripping tension, and unforgettable characters.” — Readers’ Favorite

“The kind of thriller that blindsides you with every twist… smart, unpredictable, and deeply relevant.” — Medium

With its mix of courtroom tension, moral conflict, and fast-paced suspense, Punch Line keeps readers turning pages and questioning every motive until the very end.

Continue Chance Cormac’s journey in Facts Are Stubborn Things and The Collectors—two equally riveting novels that reveal how far one man will go to fight for truth, loyalty, and justice.
