Paraplegic attorney Pen Wilkinson searches for her missing nephew, a computer genius, to prevent a worldwide financial meltdown.
Paraplegic young prosecutor Pen Wilkinson prepares to bring a corrupt Congressman to justice in the first big trial of her career, only to find the stakes much higher than she imagined. Just before trial, Pen’s star witness disappears--either killed or driven into hiding by an unknown, terrifying form of coercion. As Pen searches across the country for the missing witness, she uncovers a massive web of corporate and political crime that goes far beyond the case she is prosecuting. With the trial date fast approaching, Pen’s search is complicated by the astonishing arrest of her boyfriend, banker James Carter, for the murder of his former lover. As Pen presses on, trying to prosecute her case while exonerating her friend, the focus of the murder investigation shifts from Carter to another suspect with a strong motive: Pen herself.
It's good to see disabled heroines in novels, in this case, since Perry Mason (I never watched that show). I don't like courtroom dramas. Even though I once said that I could, "find anybody," I found it difficult to make a case against my employer for insidious discrimination under ADA.
I was paraplegic for 30 years (not in the usual sense because it was my hands and arms that were paralyzed and not my legs). For the last 20 years, my legs have become involved as well and I am in an electric wheelchair. While I still drive, most of the time alone, my life is very restricted and I am unable to travel freely like I used to while many who are paraplegic can.
That said, Pen seems like an unlikely "action" heroine. So, I have to assume that she uses her legal wiles to solve the mystery of what happened to her nephew. During the 30 years I passed for "normal" I avoided fights because I knew that one blow could end my life from the weak area in my spine.
An excerpt from the book--I post five chapters--would be helpful in determining more about Windfall. I see your books have received numerous positive reviews on Amazon.
