About Deadly Defense (Cass Leary Legal Thriller Series)

A savage killing… A victim every cop in town wants to avenge... A shocking confession by an accused with no remorse… A case no other lawyer would dare touch… Someone didn’t just want Megan Lewis dead. They wanted her obliterated. Even the most seasoned crime scene analysts were haunted by what they found. When Megan’s married ex-boyfriend admits to the murder, her family may at least get the mercy of swift justice. Defense attorney Cass Leary has every reason to steer clear of this case. Her client, Reed Karl might just be the most hated man in town. But one look at the police report and Cass knows something doesn't add up. And when Reed’s wife and young daughter beg her to help him, she can’t find the heart to say no. With the odds stacked against her, Cass is all in on a murder trial that threatens to ruin her career and cost her the one person she can't live without. But only Cass knows there's another, more vulnerable victim's life at stake. If she walks away now, she'll have blood on her hands she can never wash clean. Sometimes, small-town justice comes with a price too high for even Cass Leary to pay. Deadly Defense is the 13th book in the Cass Leary Legal Thriller Series. It has all the twists and turns you've come to expect from a Robin James novel. Perfect for fans of Grisham, Connelly and Slaughter.
