About the Book

Jennifer and her partner Dave Randle take on seemingly ordinary cases to find a missing woman and to defend workers denied future insurance coverage. But the routine becomes dangerous, even life-threatening, when they are opposed by executives who employ threats, assaults, corruption of judges, and murder to achieve their goals. Jennifer uses her legal skills and the Americans For Disabilities Act to gain a positive outcome. Dave, a former special forces operative, confronts agents hired to silence witnesses and intimidate the partners. Acknowledgment of their increasing affection for each other provides another element of intrigue for Jennifer and Dave.
