The Unraveling of Joe Sargenti

When a burned-out big firm litigator becomes obsessed with finding an explanation for the shocking apparent suicide of a young colleague, his quest for answers puts him at odds with his clients, the powers that be, and his ex-wife, while opening his eyes to a new path forward.

61-year-old Joe Sargenti is grinding through the final stage of a soul-crushing career at King & Ransom, when the inexplicable death of Marco Casasanta shakes him to his core. Why would a promising in-house lawyer at Madison Bank with a beautiful family take his own life? Joe enlists the help of his estranged son to hack into Charlie’s work laptop and discovers that Charlie was talking to a whistleblower lawyer. About what? Joe keeps pulling on the thread as he tries to unravel a conspiracy connecting a top executive at Madison Bank, shadowy operatives from Russia and Iran, and the politically ambitious U.S. Secretary of State.
