Reseña del libro "Dark Moon, A Legal Thriller (en Inglés)"
If you like fast-paced action authentic courtroom conflicts, and edge-of-your-seat twists, then you'll love Dark Moon, A Legal Thriller! The fix is in to convict a former U.S. Supreme Court Clerk of the murder of her ex-husband unless legendary criminal defense attorney Sarah Knight can beat the odds. No one knows why Sarah left her prestigious partnership at New York powerhouse Craig, Lewis, and Weller to set up a solo shop in San Diego, but Sarah's marching orders from the appointments clerk of the San Diego Superior Court are clear: lose this case or you'll never work in this town again. Coleman Reed, now a United States Supreme Court Justice, still owns the legal community in San Diego just as much as he did when he was a partner at Warrick, Thompson. From his lofty perch in Washington, D.C., he has decreed that his ex-daughter-in-law belongs on death row and to hell with due process. Sarah Knight, with her international reputation, is the perfect attorney to make things look good while throwing her client's case. But there's just one problem: Sarah is also the only attorney in San Diego willing to stand up to Coleman Reed. And she stubbornly believes her client is innocent despite the mountain of evidence against her. Jim Mitchell, ex-FBI agent turned private investigator, has come to San Diego to escape his own painful past. He's intrigued by the driven, hard-drinking defense attorney with the mysterious scar on her cheek, and he persuades Sarah to make him part of the defense team. Jim quickly proves his value when he discovers that Coleman's son had a taste for high-priced call girls and was entangled in an extensive pattern of criminal financial dealings. But just when it looks like Jim has won the advantage for the defense, Coleman Reed manipulates the trial judge to exclude their star witness on the eve of trial. With her client's life hanging in the balance, Sarah must decide if she's willing to risk her own life to defeat Coleman Reed. Dark Moon, A Legal Thriller is the first standalone novel in the riveting Warrick-Thompson Files series. h2>
