The Baxter Trust

by Parnell Hall

Overview

Sexy young Sheila Benton loses a multi-million dollar trust if she's involved in any scandal, so it probably would have been wiser not to do drugs, run around with a married man, and find a dead blackmailer on her kitchen floor. Defending her from a murder charge is a tough first case for attorney Steve Winslow, particularly since her trustee won't pay him, and he can't afford to quit his day job, driving a cab.

Editorial Reviews

" ...smart, agreeable mystery...The likable Winslow proves a clever, thorough investigator and an entertaining trial lawyer. Hailey brings his plot threads together with finesse."

Publishers Weekly

"Truly outrageous legal high jinks overlaying an original plot concept--plus, Winslow is fun to be around."

Kirkus Reviews

"Hailey has done a fine job of detailing a murder mystery that contains some of the best courtroom dialogue put down in a very long time. His scenes out of court are good, but those taking place in court are superb."

Phil Thomas

"A winning tale of intrigue with a smash ending."
