Punch Line: A Chance Cormac Legal Thriller (Chance Cormac Legal Thrillers Book 2)
Jokes can be dangerous! Punch Line is the second book in the Chance Cormac legal thriller series written by Richard A. Danzig. Chance Cormac is back at his desk in his Brooklyn brownstone practicing law after his six month suspension for knocking out an adversary on the courthouse steps.
​
Chance is soon representing a comic who was stabbed leaving a comedy club after a late night set including jokes about the trans community. Next, in perhaps his most personal case, Chance represents his former paralegal and first love in a frivolous custody lawsuit brought by the sperm donor who was the biologic father of her daughter, and Chance's goddaughter, Melody.
"Punch Line makes a meaningful impact in the literary realm by addressing contentious issues within a thriller framework, creating a story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Like a comedian delivering a punchline that resonates long after the laughter fades, the novel compels readers to confront uncomfortable societal truths while keeping them thoroughly entertained. This work evokes both a tense courtroom drama and a compelling examination of society that lingers in the reader’s thoughts long after the final gavel falls."

Editorial Reviews
"Danzig saves the best for last in a twisty climax the reader will not see coming. He leaves the reader wanting more, just what needs to be done for the first book of this series. Facts Are Stubborn Things is wonderfully written, perfectly paced, and introduces a principled protagonist who readers will want to see again."
- Independent Book Review
"For fans of legal maneuvering, Danzig has filled the book with riveting subject matter, including precedents for father’s rights cases, the rights of sperm donors, liability of property owners, the impact of disclaimers and much more. The most fascinating legal aspect of the book by far is whether TAG could be held liable for the assault on Slater. But lest you think the final third of the book will consist entirely of courtroom drama, think again. Danzig unleashes several more surprises that readers won’t see coming."
