Perfect for you if...

You love legal thrillers with a protagonist who has real skin in the game, not just professional stakes.
You're drawn to Boston crime stories with gritty procedural detail and characters who actually know the system.
You enjoy watching a younger character challenge a cynical mentor and prove there's still room for integrity in a broken world.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries or lightweight page-turners without genuine moral weight and danger.
You want a protagonist who's already a seasoned professional rather than someone still learning on the job.
You're looking for a case that wraps up neatly without raising uncomfortable questions about how justice actually works.

About this book

Suffolk law student Susan Sorella works by day at a brutal internship with defense attorney Bobby Coughlin and by night waiting tables at her father's North End restaurant. When Boston's mob leader delivers a message that an innocent man is about to be convicted for a murder he didn't commit, Susan is tasked with preventing it. The judge seeks a quick guilty plea, the DA wants a conviction, and Bobby has lost faith in the system. But Susan notices inconsistencies in the case that others miss. To prove the man's innocence, she must confront a ruthless prosecutor, corrupt FBI agents, and an unreliable witness—while also challenging Bobby's cynicism about justice. Susan is not yet a licensed attorney, but she has a talent for uncovering truth and the determination to risk everything for it. If she fails, an innocent person goes to prison. If she succeeds, she may become a target herself. The case appears unwinnable and the danger is genuine, but Susan refuses to back down.
