TENKILL

This female-led legal thriller like no other finds Greta Vinet Seville, an e-discovery lawyer on the run from her own international law firm after uncovering proof of corruption and disinformation that has shaped generations of political ideology.

In TENKILL, Greta Vinet Seville, E-Discovery Counsel and Deputy General Counsel at the international law firm of Coarse & Cotton, finds herself on the run from her own firm. Using a thin argument that she is authorized to investigate suspected corruption and possible high crimes amongst the named partners, Greta absconds with firm data to conduct her investigation - holing up at a former client's off-the grid farm to figure out her next move - that is, until the firm tracks her down, claiming to have only her safety in mind. Forced to flee again, Greta enlists a diverse cast of characters to help her comb through the mountains of data she's taken from the firm. This off-the-books, rag-tag legal team includes a genius litigation technology professional, a possibly psychopathic (but effective) summer associate, an AP investigative reporter, a classical painting art restorer, Greta's philosophy professor brother, and Greta's love interest, a compliance attorney. Romance, action, technology law, and corruption are all explored, and all of these intertwine with Greta's personal backstory about a renegade, vigilante aunt who's been on the run for decades, fighting her own politically-charged battles. The team creates a makeshift war room in a historic Salem, Massachusetts home, and their pursuit of more evidence leads them in action-packed chases around Boston... and a massive hospital - Tenkill - that is at the center of the corruption. But this investigation is like no other Greta has ever conducted, as people who have millions to lose and careers to ruin have long kept what she seeks to uncover buried deep. TENKILL is a brilliantly surrealist thriller which finds an e-discovery lawyer on the run from her own firm after uncovering proof of corruption that has shaped generations. For fans of early John Grisham, but with an all-female-led cast, and a secret at the end that shakes the concept of political ideology to its core.
