This is a difficult subject for anyone to write about, but this author has done so in a magnificent way without diluting any of the distaste and harshness of the reality. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author and I have fallen in love with her writing. The plot is excellent as are the characters and their dialogue. This is a wonderful read that you don’t want to miss.
This is the 4th book I have read by this author and I have enjoyed them all. In this story, Casey has now begun working criminal cases. She has a new client that hires her to contest the charges lodged against his clubs. At the same time this is going own, Casey’s boyfriend Miles has gotten involved in a case pertaining to sex traffic. Casey’s case goes to court presided by her former boyfriend’s father who she was engaged earlier. She is able to win the case.
Miles has a name of an individual who was responsible for the sex case he was pursuing. He is not able to get anyone that can point him in the same direction. Casey in the meantime receives a large retainer by her earlier client. There is a situation that they may intersect.
To discover who Casey’s client was and how he might have some sort of connection to the case Miles was working on, then you must read this book.
A surprising book as the story is based on very sad and difficult to discuss issues – children prostitution, corruption, sexual abuse at home, lack of love and understanding at home, poverty and its consequence in the development of people. In spite of these difficult themes, the story is easy to read and does not leave a bad or sad impression on the reader. The lawyer and the attorney are frequently faced with taking a decision between what is right and what is good and their personal relationship is damaged by the decisions they take. It´s a very interesting book to read that reflects – most unfortunately – the days we are living.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest opinion.

I sadly missed books one and two in this series. But with this fourth book, the second I have read, Author Aime Austin takes us into a case where they are investigating a character names Sledge Hammer and you never know where the clues might come from. I will need to get my hands on the first two books in the series and see where it all began. If you like court drama then you will love these.
