SW01 - The Baxter Trust
by Parnell Hall
Sexy young Sheila Benton loses a multi-million dollar trust if she's
involved in any scandal, so it probably would have been wiser not to do
drugs, run around with a married man, and find a dead blackmailer on her
kitchen floor. Defending her from a murder charge is a tough first case
for attorney Steve Winslow, particularly since her trustee won't pay
him, and he can't afford to quit his day job, driving a cab."
...smart, agreeable mystery...The likable Winslow proves a clever,
thorough investigator and an entertaining trial lawyer. Hailey brings
his plot threads together with finesse." - Publishers Weekly"Hailey
has done a fine job of detailing a murder mystery that contains some of
the best courtroom dialogue put down in a very long time. His scenes
out of court are good, but those taking place in court are superb." -
Phil Thomas, Associated Press"Truly outrageous legal high jinks overlaying an original plot concept—plus, Winslow is fun to be around." - Kirkus Reviews"A winning tale of intrigue with a smash ending." - United Press International
