Her, too : a novel / by Kistler, Bonnie,author.;
"Defending an accused rapist, a high-powered lawyer learns firsthand the terrible truth about her client ... a discovery that propels her on a quest for justice and revenge in this addictively readable thriller from the author of The Cage. Kelly McCann is a fighter. She's fought to build a successful legal career, fought for the special needs of her family, and tirelessly fought for her clients. Her specialty is defending men accused of sex crimes--falsely accused, she always maintains. Her detractors call her a traitor to her gender, but she doesn't care. Badass and brilliant, Kelly simply loves to win, and as the story opens, she's done it again, securing an acquittal for a renowned scientist accused of sexually assaulting his female employees. But the thrill of her victory is short-lived. That very night she, too, falls victim of a brutal sexual assault. And almost as horrific as the attack is the fact that she can't tell anyone it happened-not without destroying her career in the process. Kelly has never backed down from a fight and she's not about to start pulling her punches now. Joining forces with her rapist's other victims, the shrewd lawyer plans to turn the tables on him. It's not only about justice-these wronged women are out for revenge. But someone, it seems, is out for them, and one by one, they find themselves facing even greater danger"--

Beyond reasonable doubt / by Dugoni, Robert,author.;
"When Jenna Bernstein, disgraced wunderkind CEO of a controversial biotech company, is accused of murdering her former partner and lover, she turns to Seattle attorney Keera Duggan to defend her. Keera is more than a master chess player who brings her intuitive moves into court-she's Jenna's childhood friend. But considering their history, Keera knows that where Jenna goes, trouble follows. Five years earlier, Keera's father successfully defended Jenna when she was tried for the killing of her company's chief scientist who threatened to go public with allegations of corporate fraud. Keera knows Jenna too well. When she was a kid, Keera saw Jenna for what she was: a manipulative and frighteningly controlling sociopath. Now, with only circumstantial evidence against Jenna, Keera is willing to bury any trepidation she might have to defend a woman she believes, this time, to be innocent. As the investigation gets underway and disturbing questions arise, Keera puts her trust in a client who swears that this time she's telling nothing but the truth. If this is all just another devious game, Keera might be working to set a murderer free"--
