Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling Nina Reilly novels have dazzled both readers and critics with their crackling blend of legal suspense and taut human drama. Now Perri O’Shaughnessy, hailed as "smart", "gripping", and "complex" by the San Francisco Chronicle, brings us her best—and most explosive—Nina Reilly novel yet. Amid the sparkling snow-swept mountains of Lake Tahoe, Nina Reilly has made a home, juggling the demands of her one-woman law practice and raising a teenage son alone. Now Nina has taken on a case that will threaten everything she holds dear, drawing her into a tangled web of loyalties and alliances within one of Lake Tahoe’s most prominent families. Her client: a man accused of murdering his own brother—on the ski slopes of Tahoe. The law says Nina must give Jim Strong the best possible defense. But Strong’s family has turned violently against him, and suddenly Nina is at the center of the storm. As she works a flawed and troubling case and gets swept into an unexpected love affair, the two sides of Nina’s life come crashing together … in the ultimate act of malice. "Will keep you turning the pages into the night … Pleasantly twisty … [a] wham-bam, heart-racing climax."—USA Today

Perri O'Shaughnessy have improved much in their craft. But they can surely avoid and do without this compulsion to have, a life and death confrontation as a finishing touch, in their stories. Excluding such climaxes, they are a really good comfort reads.......more

These novels are always gripping.. but this time the authors stretch things a bit too far for me. I don't want to offer any real spoilers but this o......more
