About

A legal thriller in which a defense attorney defends her own law partner on a patricide charge. Courtroom drama tangled with family fallout, a victim with a long list of enemies and a partnership on the line.

Her Partner Is Charged With Murder. The Victim Was His Father.

Harper Ross faces her toughest challenge yet when her associate, Damien Harrington, is arrested for the murder of his birth father. Convinced of his innocence, Harper takes the case, only to uncover secrets from Damien's past that shake the foundations of their partnership.

The victim was a notorious figure with a history of sexual harassment, rape and crooked business dealings, and the list of people who wanted him dead grows with every interview. Harper's job is to find the real killer among them before the jury settles on the man beside her at the defense table.

Meanwhile her tween daughters are acting out and her relationship with her longtime beau is on the rocks. Mother, partner, defense attorney: Harper is running out of ways to be all three, and this case won't let her choose.

The Accused is the ninth book in the Kansas City Legal Thrillers series and can be read as a standalone, for readers who love partner-in-peril trials, whodunit courtroom reveals, working-mother heroines and loyalty under pressure. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Michael Connelly and Robert Dugoni.
