Mystery Legal
USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Forster returns with a gripping thriller about a brilliant lawyer caught between her client, a powerful familyβs hidden legacy, and the truthβ¦ When 16-year-old Hannah Sheraton is arrested for the murder of her step-grandfather, a prominent California Supreme Court justice, her distraught mother contacts her old college roommate, Josie Baylor-Bates, to take the case. Once a hotshot criminal defense attorney, Josie stepped off the fast track and doesnβt particularly want to get back on. Thereβs something about the troubled teenager, however, that draws Josie strongly to her. All of the evidence points to Hannah, but there are strange and complex dynamics at work, and Josie senses that something is terribly wrong. When the shocking truth is finally uncovered, it could save her client βor destroy them all.
β[Forster] has shown an impressive ability to interweave plot, evocative narration and character to create highly entertaining mysteries.ββPublishers Weekly
