The athletic Robin Starling is a 30-year-old female lawyer in a male-dominated courtroom, though at 5-11 she stands eye-to-eye with most of the men. When her first murder case comes along, she does what she thinks is right — for herself, her client, and her murdered friend — and she relies on constant motion to keep out of trouble, legal and otherwise. Trouble, unfortunately, has a way of catching up — legal and, especially, otherwise.

Guilty Knowledge
(Guilty Knowledge is a courtroom drama that has everything...)
Guilty Knowledge is a courtroom drama that has everything you expect from a legal crime novel: drug smuggling and money laundering, crime lords and criminal syndicates, and vigilante justice. Alan Dougherty is an idealistic young attorney who must find courage enough to face down the mob, brains enough to solve a brutal murder, and the ingenuity to best an arrogant young prosecutor. The pace and the plotting put it in the ranks of organized crime fiction.

Laughing Heirs is a humorous legal thriller that begins with a man peering through one of female attorney Robin Starling's front windows and a mad dash across an ice-slicked road. It continues with a dead man who might or might not have been murdered, boy problems, human blood that keeps showing up in the most unlikely places, and more boy problems. If that weren't enough, the district attorney seems to have a personal vendetta against Robin, who continues to poke around when more conventional lawyers would file their legal documents and await developments.

The first day of trial, the defendant bared his nicotine-stained teeth at the jury as it filed into the courtroom. His clothing, combined with his yellow teeth, oily hair, and prominent hooked nose, made him look like Lucifer’s indigent second cousin. It soon became clear to everyone, including Robin Starling, his idealistic attorney, that he would have killed Bill Hill if he had felt like it. The only question was, had he felt like it back on that brisk March day?

She should have had that second fritter... But instead Robin Starling agreed to represent the D.A.’s sister in a murder trial. An orthopedic surgeon, prominent in local politics, has been found dead in her apartment. Now the D.A. wants help — from the attorney he just tried to get disbarred — and trust seems to be a commodity in short supply.
