Description
An ex-con, Nora Dockson pulled herself out of the gutter and became an appeals lawyer. She works only for convicted felons. She's sure her current client didn't murder his wife. The jury was misled by testimony from an expert witness who reconstructed the crime based on bloodstain patterns. She'll prove the so-called expert made leaps of logic incompatible with the latest forensic science.
But a family emergency pulls her away from the case and back to her unsavory roots. Events spiral out of control. Instead of arguing in a courtroom, she's once again on the dangerous turf of her childhood. And this time she may not escape alive.
"Lay Bare the Lie, the sixth and newest Nora Dockson legal thriller, tops all the others in so many ways. There's a gripping I-didn't-see-that-coming plot, the relationships among the continuing characters are evolving, and the descriptions of Oregon and Washington are wonderful. The author is a master at putting you inside a scene so vividly you'd swear you had actually lived through it. I've never been to Pendleton, but I feel I could walk down a street there and recognize everything. Nora, Hunter, and Patty-Jean are true-to-life characters that we'd like to spend more time with."
