Inspirational Mystery | Thriller | Suspense

Katie Sullivan is about to take on the biggest case of her life, the lead counsel in a class action lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company. Katie is not afraid to take on this case; she wants to see justice done.

But Katie is going up against one of her friends from college. Ethan will be the lead for the pharmaceutical company. While they are both great lawyers, Katie is sure that she can beat Ethan. Katie hires Landon, a private investigator, to help her on the case. One employee of the company Ellie comes forward claiming she has information that will help Katie's case. Before Katie can get the information that she needs, Ellie is murdered.

Now Katie not only has a case to work on, but trying to keep herself safe. Several things happening around Katie have been odd. Even though Landon along with two of his old friends is there to protect Katie, Ethan realizes that the people he is representing are not completely honest with him. Just what is this company trying to hide? Katie will do whatever it takes to win this case against Ethan on the other hand who is also trying to win. Which one will succeed?

DEADLY PROOF has a great mystery and some romance. I really enjoyed it. Not only was it a good book, but it was fast-paced. The reason that I like that is that you get into it and before you know it you are done. Dylan was a litigator for a law firm, I am sure that is why this book felt so authentic. Dylan obviously knows the ins and outs of the law.

Dylan also has a great way showing how romance can develop when you start out being friends. DEADLY PROOF showed how Katie and Landon were friends first and the more they knew about each other, it turned into romance. I am so hoping that Dylan will write more novels with these two characters, would love to find out what other cases they worked on and how the romance progresses.

SUMMARY

In the biggest case of her career, attorney Kate Sullivan is tapped as lead counsel to take on Mason Pharmaceutical because of a corporate cover-up related to its newest drug. After a whistleblower dies, Kate knows the stakes are much higher than her other lawsuits.

Former Army Ranger turned private investigator Landon James is still haunted by mistakes made while serving overseas. Trying to forget the past, he is hired by Kate to look into the whistleblower's allegation and soon suspects that the company may be engaging in a dangerous game for profit. He also soon finds himself falling for this passionate and earnest young lawyer.

Determined not to make the same mistakes, he's intent on keeping Kate safe, but as the case deepens, it appears someone is willing to risk everything--even murder--to keep the case from going to trial.
