The David Adams series begins with An Equal Justice (2019), where a young attorney fresh out of law school finds himself working with homeless clients and uncovering dangerous truths. An Unequal Defense (2020) and Runaway Justice (2021) continue Adams’s story as his legal career leads him into cases with real personal stakes.
Chad Zunker uses the legal thriller format to explore questions about who gets justice and who doesn’t. Adams is idealistic but not naive, and each book tests his convictions against the messy reality of the courts.
