Synopsis

A gripping courtroom drama that explores the struggle between morality vs. professional obligation, Devil's Defense will appeal to fans of female-lead courtroom dramas like The Good Wife.

Jessica Fischer wants nothing more than to build her law practice in small-town Ashton, Georgia. She's well on her way when the local town hero, football coach Frank "Tripp" Wishingham III, hires her to represent him in a paternity suit. Coach is everything Jessica despises—arrogant, sexist, entitled—but it's her job to make him look good in public. This is made doubly difficult when her burgeoning relationship with a local reporter gets in the way of telling the truth.

Are things as black and white as Jessica thinks? And can she find a way to succeed without compromising her own personal values—or her personal life?

A wonderful small town legal thriller! I've enjoyed Lori's previous books, but when I heard about her first legal thriller, I knew I had to read it. I'm a big fan of thrillers and picked up a copy of the paperback directly from the author at a book event. Riveting stuff. The characters are well devel......more

Goodreads review by Jeanette on September 27, 2024

This book is out of my normal reading genre, but boy oh boy am I glad I took a chance. The author has a way of building her characters so readers are invested in their stories. From the first page I was hooked and especially liked that the chapters were not overly long. The storyline is basically ab......more
