For some, betraying justice is a small price to pay for riches. For others, the truth is more important than money. When deceit and integrity clash, gamesmanship controls the outcome.

A legal thriller filled with compelling characters and suspense, GAMESMANSHIP is a masterful tale where justice becomes a dangerous game of hide-and-seek.

After a workplace accident claims lives, a corrupt trial lawyer and a greedy business owner enter into a devious conspiracy to unfairly profit from the tragedy. For them, altering evidence — even committing murder — is justifiable when the shared reward is a half-billion dollars. The dead workers, a key witness, and the integrity of the justice system mean nothing to men who believe the rules don’t apply to them. 

But three things stand in the way of their plunder: the ingenuity of the only witness who knows what really happened; the tenacity of two young and honest lawyers who represent a brave widow; and the inspiring common sense of an old-style courtroom legend, whose bungling demeanor and simple ways mask the genius necessary to discover the complex crime of the conspirators. 

Praise for Gamesmanship:

"The struggle between good and evil, set in the context of a high-profile lawsuit with millions at stake, makes Gamesmanship a fun and fascinating read. Williams spins a tale of legal machinations with complete authority through characters you can never forget."
—    Margaret Leslie Davis,  Bestselling Author of Dark Side of Fortune

“A great novel, like a good script, stirs emotions and sweeps you away in story. With Gamesmanship, David D Williams ably demonstrates what good story-telling is all about. It’s a thrilling read."
—    Tony Thomas,   Award-Winning Film and Television Producer
