Perfect for you if...

You enjoy legal thrillers with genuine procedural detail and a protagonist who has real stakes beyond just solving the case.
You appreciate strong female leads who are flawed, working mothers balancing ambition with responsibility, not superhuman action heroes.
You want fast pacing with actual twists rather than manufactured ones, written by someone who knows the courts inside out.

Maybe not for you if...

You need graphic violence or relentless darkness. This is a procedural thriller that favours momentum over gore.
You're looking for a standalone mystery with a quiet, literary tone. This is built on Scottoline's signature accessible, propulsive style.
You prefer romance as the central plot. The attraction matters to the story, but this is fundamentally about uncovering corruption.

About this book

Philadelphia lawyer Grace Rossi, starting over after her divorce, works part time for Judge Armen Gregorian in the federal appeals court. While assigned to a death penalty appeal, she and Gregorian share a night of passion. When Gregorian is found dead the next morning in what appears to be a suicide, Grace becomes determined to uncover the truth. Investigating on her own, Grace discovers a secret bank account and uncovers a trail of bribery and judicial corruption that has escaped the FBI's notice. Working with an undercover federal agent, she risks everything to expose the truth and see justice done.
