<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Probate attorney Hollis Morgan is defending her first criminal case. Her young client is first charged with identity theft, then murder. Justin Eastland is a liar, but he's no killer. When he is let out on bail as bait, Hollis struggles to keep him alive, endangering both herself and her young friend Vince who she's hired to watch him.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Probate attorney Hollis Morgan is branching out into criminal law. Pardoned after serving time for her then-husband's white-collar crime, she knows something about the workings of the criminal mind. Hollis' first criminal case quickly gets complicated. Her client is a young man initially accused of identity theft, but his charge soon includes murder. Hollis has a knack for detecting lies, and although Justin Eastland lies with every breath, she doesn't believe he is a killer. Eastland is let out on bail as bait, and Hollis struggles to keep her client alive. She enlists the services of her young friend Vince, a former addict she helped get back on track, telling him to not let Eastland out of his sight. At the same time Hollis is handling a sensitive probate matter for a whistle-blower hiding from a revengeful cartel. It has not been easy for Hollis to learn to trust again, and in both these cases, a surprising number of people are not telling her the whole story. She thinks she can sort the truths from the half-truths and the outright lies, but how reliable are her instincts? Hollis' sense of justice does not always consider the law. If she's wrong, her clients aren't the only ones who could lose their lives. The sixth and final book in the Hollis Morgan mystery series.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"An action-packed and exciting tale that blends the legal thriller and murder mystery genres. James's characters are authentic and well-defined, and her plot is original and compelling. I haven't read any of the preceding books in this series, but had no problem getting involved in the story and appreciating Hollis's background as well as the importance of the Fallen Angels Book Club to her and to the story itself. [....] Most highly recommended."<p></p> --Jack Magnus for <i>Readers' Favorite Reviews</i></p><br><br><p>"Two complex legal cases occupy Hollis Morgan in James's bustling sixth and final mystery featuring the San Francisco lawyer (after The Bell Tolls). ... Hollis's relationship with Homeland Security agent John Faber adds a welcome touch of romance. Fans will be sorry to see the last of this fine heroine."</p><p>--<i>Publisher's Weekly</i></p><br><br><p>Four Stars: "Plenty of twists and turns but not one hiccup. Nothing here that throws off your rhythm of reading; makes you have to turn back a page or two to see what you missed. Clean, clearly written, crime fiction."</p><p>--Long and Short Reviews</p><br>
