Winner, Legal Thriller of the Year - The BestThrillers.com Book Awards Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Finalist - Best Thriller and Suspense Novel After being accused of the murder of a high school classmate thirty years prior, lawyer Jason Feldman becomes a fugitive from justice to find the one person who can prove his innocence and save the life of his son. Pittsburgh personal injury lawyer and part-time drug dealer Jason Feldman's life goals are simple: date hot women, earn enough cash to score cocaine on a regular basis, and care for his dementia-ravaged father. That all changes when a long-lost childhood friend contacts him about the discovery of buried remains belonging to a high school classmate who went missing thirty years prior, and the fragile life Jason's built over his troubled past is about to come crashing down. Soon, he's on the run across Pittsburgh and beyond to find his old friend, while trying to figure out whom to trust among Ukrainian mobsters, vegan drug dealers, washed-up sports stars, an Israeli James Bond, and an ex-wife who happens to be the district attorney. The only way he'll survive is if he overcomes his addictions so he can face his childhood demons.
In The Ambulance Chaser, readers meet Jason Feldman, a morally compromised attorney who finds himself embroiled in a dangerous plot that is way above his pay gradeDivorced from his DA wife, estranged from his son, hobbled by addictions, and stuck in a lonely life with his cat and a chiropractor girlfriend who is his only source of clients, Feldman still draws us in with his humanity and desire-no matter how thin-to finally get things right. With the sudden appearance of a long-lost friend and a long-disappeared dead body, Feldman's long-held secrets threaten his very life as he is drawn into a terrifying cat-and-mouse game with sinister players. A not-to-be-missed, twisty, fast-paced legal thriller that keeps the reader guessing on subjects as fascinating as the Odessa Mafia and illicit trysts on a Pittsburgh incline. I, for one, hope to see more from debut novelist, Brian Cuban, in the future. -- Deborah Goodrich Royce, author of Finding Mrs. Ford and Ruby Falls
