About the Book

"In first-time novelist Grey's legal thriller, a tax accountant who's endured sexual harassment and assault faces off against her tormentors in court.... Grey's engaging, realistic narrative is an uphill battle for sympathetic Nicole, a successful single mom who's survived years of abuse.... Topical, no-nonsense portrayal of a wronged woman seeking justice." Kirkus Review

A #MeToo legal thriller that goes behind closed doors to show how employee loyalty to the firm, or rather to a paycheck, causes a "whistle-blower" to quickly become a pariah in the workplace. This novel also explores how a firm and its attorneys recreate facts, cover their tracks, and fabricate paper trails to discredit an employee who fights back against injustice. And finally, it helps to explain why most women will not report sexual harassment in the workplace. This is not a cut-and-dried legal thriller. Counsel of Deceit attempts to show what happens to the by-stander employees of firms subject to sexual harassment lawsuits. It delves deeply into the psychological aspects of those employees who are shaken by those who "rock the boat" in a long-standing culture.

Nicole Brannig has finally achieved her dream: to become a CPA in one of the large firms. But men will be men, and one of the partners touches her inappropriately in the breakroom. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and rape, Nicole has endured worse than a little groping. Much worse. She decides to forget about the incident, but the partner commits an even more egregious assault later. She reports it to her boss. Rather than take her seriously, he takes steps to terminate her, and her career goes up in smoke. Pushed into a corner, she is left with no choice but to fight back, but she chooses the wrong attorney. Her federal lawsuit is lost because of a well-planned strategy by-and in collusion with-outside counsel for Channel, Morgan and Bond. With one more chance for justice, a lawsuit is filed in state court, but Nicole has lost almost everything and snaps.

Then the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth comes out.
