Motion to Suppress Mass market paperbound - 1996
by Perri O'Shaughnessy
The stunning bestseller is now available in paper! In less than a week, attorney Nina Reilly's entire life has been turned upside down. Just recently a happily married lawyer in San Francisco, Nina is now a single parent hanging out a shingle in Lek Tahoe--and the hottest case in town just walked into her office in the form of cocktail waitress Misty Patterson, accused of killing her abusive husband with a small statue.
From the jacket flap
Returning from her late shift as a barmaid at a casino in Lake Tahoe, Misty Patterson struck her violently jealous husband in self-defense. She admits that--but did she kill him? She says she can't remember. Like so many times before, Misty blacked out and the rest of the evening is a blank. Now her husband has disappeared, leaving behind a trail of blood, and she's the number-one murder suspect with no one to turn to for help.
San Francisco attorney Nina Reilly is also on the run--from a bad marriage and a worse career setback. Relocated to Lake Tahoe, Nina is resolved to recover her spirit, give her young son a secure home, and build up a small solo practice. But, when Misty Patterson walks in the door, a blond Barbie doll of a cocktail waitress accused of murder, it triggers a harrowing series of events that will change both women's lives forever.
Common sense says Misty is lying. To win this case Nina will have to trust her own instincts, diving headlong into the dark convolutions of the human mind. This murder case--teeming with sinister secrets, unspoken betrayals, and jolting revelations--is going to change everything Nina Reilly believes about the law. It's going to rock everything Misty believes about herself. And if they can learn to trust each other, it's going to give both women their one and only chance to reclaim their shattered lives.
In a spellbinding novel that doesn't let go from the first page until the shocking unforgettable conclusion, Perri O'Shaughnessy delivers an electrifying legal thriller about two women risking all they have for the truth that could cost them their lives--or set them both free.
