[1670] First Chapter for a Lawyer Thriller

Hi all!

I’m having a go at writing in a new genre and I wanted to get some feedback on my first chapter.

I haven’t written in this kind of fast-paced page-turning style before, so I’d be interested to hear how the pacing feels, but feedback on all aspects of the writing would be appreciated. I’ve also tried to keep a lot about the protagonist ambiguous, so you’re left wondering why he’s so cool under pressure, so please let me know if that worked for you or just felt unnatural!

Thanks in advance!

The Chapter.
