P.I. Holland Taylor returns in David Housewright’s Edgar
Award-winning series with First, Kill the Lawyers,
where Taylor is hired to recover stolen files before they
are leaked, ruining more than just the careers of five local
lawyers.
Five prominent attorneys in Minneapolis have had their
computer systems hacked and very sensitive case files
stolen. Those attorneys are then contacted by an association
of local whistleblowers known as NIMN and are quietly
alerted that they have received those documents from an
anonymous source. If those files are released, then not only
will those lawyers be ruined, but it might even destroy the
integrity of the entire Minnesota legal system. This group
of lawyers turns to Private Investigator Holland Taylor with
a simple directive: stop the disclosure any way you can.
But while the directive is simple, the case is not. To find
the missing files and the person responsible, Holland must
first dive into the five cases covered in the files—divorce,
bribery, class action, rape, and murder. While Taylor is
untangling the associates and connections between the cases
and families affected, things take another mysterious turn
and the time before the files are released is running out.
As the situation becomes more threatening, Holland Taylor is
trapped in the middle of what is legal and what is
ethical—between right, wrong, and deadly.
