Not as good as Grisham, but a yarn spun along the same genre lines. Unfortunately, the key to the mystery is given away in the first few pages. I admit that it is a page-turner, and I read it in just a few days, but it certainly does not pass for good literature. May be a good beach read if you are so inclined.
Very good book! This is the storyline:
'Scott, it's Rebecca. I need you.'
After years of silence, Texan lawyer Scott Fenney receives a devastating phonecall from his ex-wife. She has been accused of murdering her boyfriend, Trey the man she left Scott for and is being held in a police cell. Now she is begging Scott to defend her. Scott is used to high-stakes cases, but this one is bigger than anything he has handled before. If Rebecca is found guilty, under Texan law she will be sentenced to death. He will have her blood on his hands. As he prepares to take the stand in the most dramatic courtroom appearance of his life, Scott is forced to question everything he believes to get to the truth to save the life of the ex-wife he still loves...
