Product Description
by James Warren (Author)
A man who had it coming, a woman who plays with fire, and a lawyer facing a tough choice...
When a big-shot lawyer with a reputation for being handsy is found murdered in his office, the evidence points to his colleague Amanda Morelli who, despite having suffered the victim's unwanted attentions, insists she's innocent.
Quickly indicted, Amanda's parents rush to employ attorney David Lee to take on the case, no expense spared. Given how stunning the accused woman is, it's a no-brainer.
Yet with a murder trial impending, Amanda inexplicably leaves town. Her vague answers and elusiveness soon raise doubts in David's mind.
Add to the blurry picture some damning new evidence and a tough prosecutor, and the cards seem stacked against him.
Can David convince the jury of Amanda's innocence? And is she telling the truth, or has falling for her charms clouded his judgement?
If you like legal procedurals with a good mystery, courtroom drama, lots of suspense, and a clever twist, you'll absolutely love this book.
Look out for James Warren's first legal thriller novel, the brilliant THAT CARE FORGOT, about a cold serial killer case set in New Orleans and Los Angeles.
PROTECTION RACKET is great for fans of Robert Dugoni, James Chandler, John Grisham, and Teresa Burrell.
