Final Jeopardy
by Linda Fairstein
Alexandra Cooper, Manhattan's top sex crime prosecutor, awakens one morning to shocking news--a tabloid headline announcing her own brutal murder. But the actual victim was Isabella Lascar, the Hollywood film star who sought refuge at Alex's Martha's Vineyard retreat. Was Isabella targeted by a stalker or was she in the wrong place at the wrong time--mistaken for Alex?
Ditch Rider
by Judith Van Gieson
In Judith Van Gieson's eighth outing, feisty lawyer/sleuth Neil Hamel immerses herself and her devotees in her new Albuquerque neighborhood-- crisscrossed by irrigation ditches and troubled by gang violence-- when she defends a teenage girl who claims she killed a gang member. As Neil settles into her new house in Albuquerque's North Valley, she befriends thirteen-year-old Cheyanne Morales, who lives in a nearby trailer with her mother and her younger half-brother. Cheyanne's teenage angst is complicated by the pressures that gang culture imposes on her and her peers. Neil gets a harrowing glimpse of these pressures when a fifteen-year-old is shot to death not far from Neil's new home. The cops suspect a rival gang member, but late one night, a battered Cheyanne shows up at Neil's front door to confess that she was the shooter. The authorities are reluctant to accept Cheyanne's story-- as a minor she'd get only a slap on the wrist--and Neil is dubious too, but she agrees to represent her young friend. With Cheyanne in custody, Neil uncovers chilling evidence that the girl's family and friends intend to take justice into their own hands. Only Neil and her lover, the Kid, can prevent another tragedy from playing out along the ditches of her new neighborhood. With its intricate, timely plot, deft characterizations, and artful evocations of place, "Ditch Rider" confirms Judith Van Gieson's reputation as one of the foremost writers of Southwestern suspense.
Hotshots
by Judith Van Gieson
When Joni Barker is killed by a highly publicized blaze in the New Mexico wilderness, Barker's parents call on Neil Hamel, to prove that the Forest Service's negligence was the cause of her death. During her investigation, Neil learns about the incredible world of "hotshots" (elite forest fighters) and the fierce battles that smoulder around issues about their work, such as how far should we go to save private property threatened by fire? And should we even try to prevent forest fires? She also discovers that there are people who will fight to the death over such questions.
Obstruction of Justice
by Perri O'Shaughnessy
Two people have died in macabre accidents, one struck by lightning on Tahoes highest mountain and one mowed down by a hit-and-run driver. In the middle of a controversial procedure to exhume one of the bodies, powerful businessman Quentin de Beers is killed. Charged with the murder, Quentins angry grandson Jason wont talk, even to Nina, his defense attorney. To save her client, Nina must expose the truth about his troubled family and untangle the hidden connections that link all three deaths. And in order to prevent a terrible injustice, Nina makes a harrowing decision to "obstruct justice" by concealing crucial evidence in the trial.In the page-turning tradition of Motion to Suppress and the New York Times bestseller Invasion of Privacy, Perri O'Shaughnessy once again places attorney Nina Reilly in the backstreets of Lake Tahoe where she is up against some colorful and dangerous characters and where the action always goes beyond the courtroom.
Let Me Call You Sweetheart

THE UNINVITED CORPSE
MICHAEL UNDERWOOD
NEW YORK: ST. MARTINS PRESS, 1989, 1987-06. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Hard Cover. Good/Good. Ex-Library. ISBN:0-312-00023-5. 173 PAGES. When lawyer Rosa Epton appears on the TV program Legal Aid, Vernon Gray, a wealthy old eccentric, decides to hire her to oversee the drafting of his will. But when Gray disappears with a housekeeper that Rosa herself helped him select, and when the police discover an unidentified corpse in his apartment, Rosa finds herself embroiled in both the search for Gray and for the identity of the uninvited corpse. Underwood (Death at Deepwood Grange, Hand of Fate is not at his best here, producing a plot that is little more than a mass of coincidence and contrivance. A series of "what-if" situations are used to build a thoroughly circumstantial case, and all wild guesses are found to be facts when the killer conveniently confesses at book's end. Although the one courtroom scene in the book demonstrates once again Underwood's strengths, readers will find this a plodding and repetitive mystery devoid of convincing characterization.
