A young lawyer puts her life in danger to defend one client and avenge the death of another.
After Sheldon McAllister is charged with poisoning her wealthy husband, she seeks out Lexi Hartt, a bright young attorney who has just escaped her father's law firm in favor of solo practice. Against her better judgment, Lexi accepts the case and matches wits with the prosecutor and the detective in charge of the investigation. When another client dies in the same manner as Sheldon's husband, Lexi finds herself drawn into a web of deceit that stretches from a powerful businessman to a celebrated psychiatrist; from her own father to an enigmatic cult leader who calls himself 'Reverend Joy.' In her race to prove Sheldon's innocence, Lexi becomes the next victim. But who is determined to keep her from learning the truth?
Relentless Hartt contains all the elements of a truly superb legal mystery novel. The story is a fast-paced thriller with a sypmathetic heroine, exciting courtroom scenes, and a villain who will keep you guessing until the very end. I highly recommend this book to mystery lovers of all ages.
