About Call of Justice (Mara Brent Legal Thriller Series)

This prequel novel takes readers back to the murder trial that started it all—and nearly ended Mara Brent’s career. Her first day on the job, brand-new prosecutor Mara Brent gets the case nobody else wants: the execution-style killing of hometown hero Deputy KC Black by a small-time criminal. The evidence is shaky, the eyewitness is unreliable, and her new boss has already set Mara up as a scapegoat if she loses. But the whole town is watching, and local law enforcement is out for blood. One verdict will decide the defendant’s fate—and Mara’s future. With the odds stacked against her, Mara’s new career might be over before it even begins. But if they thought she’d fold, they were wrong. Perfect for new readers, this prequel novel can be read as a standalone or at any point in the series. For fans of gripping, character-driven legal thrillers in the tradition of John Grisham, Karin Slaughter, and Lisa Scottoline.
