Synopsis

Lightning strikes twice. Two people have died in Lake Tahoe in shocking accidents. In a nearly empty parking lot, a hit-and-run driver kills probation officer Anna Meade Hallowell. High up on a jagged mountain, wife abuser Ray de Beers gets what he deserves: he's struck by lightning. Attorney Nina Reilly, hiking on a rare day off from her one-woman law practice, sees him die. So does her date, Tahoe deputy DA Collier Hallowell. Still shaken from his wife's violent death, Hallowell is hit hard by the accident. It's a bad end to a first date … and the start of a case that will test Nina's ethics and her heart. Nina is certain de Beers's death is an act of God. But his aging father wants to exhume the body to rule out foul play. De Beers's frantic wife and teenage twins hire Nina to stop the disinterment. What gets unearthed are secrets that raise new questions about Anna Hallowell's death, an indictment against one twin for murder, and a damning piece of evidence that can convict the boy … unless Nina obstructs justice by hiding it. No good lawyer will take that kind of risk. But a brilliant lawyer, one with a passion for truth, just might. …

Goodreads review by Connie on January 10, 2018

I really struggled with this book. It just drug along and the only action was in the last 80 pages or so. Once I reached those 80 pages, I wanted to see what happened. I certainly didn't figure out who the killer was and it was very interesting to see how it was all tied up in the end. I thought Pau......more

Love the Nina Reilly series taking place in my beloved Tahoe. I’ve read the whole series and am re-reading one last time before donating my books. She’s an attorney who moved to South Lake Tahoe from San Francisco after a divorce. As she learns a smaller city’s way through the legal system, she star......more
