This Barbara Holloway book, one of a series, continues and interesting father-daughter saga. Both lawyers, they share their insights and at times lock horns, but never for long. The legal aspects are intriguing but equally so are the personal. (

If you were a successful pickpocket, jailed at a young age for a stupid theft, it would be quite easy to target you again for theft. Unfortunately, the powerful car dealer who targets you is subsequently killed, leaving you as the only viable suspect.

This particular Barbara Holloway novel revolves around the criminal trial of a reformed thief accused of murder. Unfortunately for Barbara, she knows that the actual killer is a semi-stable young woman who cannot even remember the murder. Does Barbara bring this woman forward, leaving her to an unwarranted life in a mental hospital or does she allow her client to be put in jail for a crime he did not commit? Unfortunately, Barbara unresolved romance with Darren is becoming a distraction to this excellent series of criminal defense novels. (
