Redress of Grievances

In the first of a series of psychological thrillers, Harriett Markham is a
defense attorney in Austin, Texas, who lost everything eleven years earlier. She
had been an associate with a Dallas firm and involved in an affair with a senior
partner, Alexis Dunne. Harriett represented a rape/murder client named Jared
Wilkes and got the charges dismissed on a technicality. When Wilkes committed a
rape and murder after his release, Harriett was devastated. She resigned and
moved to Austin, leaving everything behind, including her lover.
Despite
lingering feelings for Alexis, Harriet becomes involved with a sex-offense
investigator, Jessie Rains, a woman struggling with secrets of her own. Harriet
thinks she might finally be happy, but then Alexis re-enters her life. She
refers a case of multiple homicide allegedly committed by Sharon Taggart, a
woman with no motive for the crimes. Harriett is creeped out by the brutal
murders, but reluctantly agrees to handle the defense.
As Harriett's team
prepares for trial, disturbing information comes to light. Sharon denies any
involvement in the crimes, but the evidence against her seems overwhelming.
Harriett is plunged into a case rife with twisty psychological motives,
questionable sanity, and a client with a complex and disturbing life. Is she
guilty or not? And will Harriet's legal defense bring about justice -or another
Wilkes case?
