Beyond Justice

March 15, 2017

Hayden McCarthy's ambition and drive make her an excellent attorney and in line for a partnership at her firm. When a wrongful death suit lands on her desk, she hopes its successful conclusion could lead to her promotion--if she's not killed first by forces determined to shut down the case. Meanwhile, her roommate Emily thinks Hayden's driving herself too hard and hopes Hayden and her cousin Andrew will get together. Unfortunately for Hayden, Andrew is out of bounds. Working a lawsuit against the government does not lend itself to having a relationship with a congressman's son. VERDICT With its menacing mood, crisp dialog, and quick pace, Putman's (Shadowed by Grace) action-packed legal thriller highlights a complex political scene. Starring a determined female attorney who will stop at nothing to resolve her case, this title will please fans of Joel C. Rosenberg and John Grisham.
