From James Patterson, the world's #1 bestselling author: a young lawyer takes on the judge who is destroying her hometown—and ends up in jail herself.
Jailhouse Lawyer:In picture-perfect Erva, Alabama, the most serious crimes are misdemeanors. Speeding tickets. Shoplifting. Contempt of court. Then why is the jail so
crowded? And why are so few prisoners released? There’s only one place to learn the truth behind these incriminating secrets. Sometimes the best education a lawyer can get is a short stretch
of hard time.
Power of Attorney: After a decade of estrangement from her family, defense attorney Leah Randall is suddenly summoned home by her mother. There Leah finds that her father is suffering from the
early stages of Alzheimer's, and it's up to Leah to clean up his files and close down the office. But not before she gets entangled in the disturbing case of a young woman accused of arson and the
double murder of her guardians.
