ACCUSED BY MARK GIMENEZ, SPHERE, $32.99.
A. Scott Feeney is that rare creature: a top-notch lawyer who loves justice and integrity more than money.
At home, he’s in dire financial straits, his wife has left him for a golf-pro and he’s raising their daughter and the orphaned daughter of a prostitute he once represented. Yet when he’s asked to defend his ex-wife, who’s accused of murdering her lover, he doesn’t hesitate. Did she do it? Does Scott still love her? A little digging unearths other suspects and this page-turner keeps us guessing. Scott is a lovable hero, his daughters are engaging and this imperturbable and ethical chief prosecutor is a fresh character for the legal thriller genre.
