Protection Racket by James Warren
English | 2025 | Mystery & Thriller
A man who had it coming, a woman who plays with fire, and a lawyer facing a tough choice…
When a big-shot lawyer with a reputation for being handsy is found murdered in his office, the evidence points to his colleague Amanda Morelli who, despite having suffered the victim’s unwanted attentions, insists she’s innocent.
Quickly indicted, Amanda’s parents rush to employ attorney David Lee to take on the case, no expense spared. Given how stunning the accused woman is, it’s a no-brainer.
Yet with a murder trial impending, Amanda inexplicably leaves town. Her vague answers and elusiveness soon raise doubts in David’s mind.
Add to the blurry picture some damning new evidence and a tough prosecutor, and the cards seem stacked against him.
Can David convince the jury of Amanda’s innocence? And is she telling the truth, or has falling for her charms clouded his judgement?
