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.
