In the latest title from Laura Caldwell, CLAIM OF INNOCENCE, Valerie Solara is on trial for the murder of one of her best friends, Amanda Miller. When Martin Bristol hears of the upcoming trial he offers to defend Valerie pro bono. Why would he do this one wonders, but to find out everyone needs to read A CLAIM OF INNOCENCE for themselves. However, just before the trial is to begin Martin takes ill, and his granddaughter and legal partner Maggie calls her best friend, Isabelle McNeil, to help out.

Izzy, as she's known to her family and close friends, has never participated in a criminal defense trial, and throughout the trial she struggles with different issues mainly-- is the defendant truly guilty, and doesn't the lawyer need to know that in order to offer a good defense? While Valerie's trial is the primary focus of CLAIM OF INNOCENCE there are several subplots that run concurrently. All storylines are integral to CLAIM OF INNOCENCE with the exception of the continued story of Izzy and former fiancΓ© Sam.

From start to finish, CLAIM OF INNOCENCE will have readers glued to the pages. Will Valerie be convicted of murder? Will Izzy and Sam find their way to happiness? If they do will it be together or apart? For answers to these questions and others like it you'll need to claim your own copy of CLAIM OF INNOCENCE.

SUMMARY

Forbidden relationships are the most tempting. And the most
dangerous.

It was a crime of passionβ€”or so the police say. Valerie
Solara has been charged with poisoning her best friend. The
prosecution claims she’s always been secretly attracted to
Amanda’s husband…and with Amanda gone, she planned to make
her move.

Attorney Izzy McNeil left the legal world a year ago, but a
friend’s request pulls her into the murder trial. Izzy knows
how passion can turn your life upside down. She thought she
had it once with her ex-fiancΓ©, Sam. Now she wonders if
that’s all she has in common with her criminally gorgeous
younger boyfriend, Theo.

It’s Izzy’s job to present the facts that will exonerate her
clientβ€”whether or not she’s innocent. But when she suspects
Valerie is hiding something, she begins investigatingβ€”and
uncovers a web of secret passions and dark motives, where
seemingly innocent relationships can prove poisonous…
