The winner of the 2002 Mary Higgins Clark Award returns with Cape Cod attorney Marty Nickerson in a riveting new legal thriller, Maximum Security.
At the urgent request of Harry Madigan, Marty Nickerson, takes on the defense of Louisa Rawlins, a woman suspected of murdering her wealthy husband. Harry is Marty’s law partner, her lover, and, coincidentally, Louisa Rawlins’s ex-lover. Glamorous and charismatic, Louisa is Marty’s polar opposite. Glamorous and charismatic, she’s entrenched in the good life, openly coveting every luxury money can buy. District Attorney Geraldine Schilling believes Louisa was motivated by greed, and to Marty, that motive seems all too plausible. It also seems too tidy. Marty’s gut tells her the murderer was motivated by something far more personal.
As the evidence against Louisa mounts, though, Marty begins to doubt her own judgment. The people she normally turns to for perspective are incapable of helping her. Her young associate, Kevin Kydd, is so bewitched by Louisa that he’s in danger of jeopardizing his entire career. And Mary fears Harry might be, too.
Illuminating the law even as she entertains, Rose Connors once again proves she is a consummate storyteller whose legal expertise and literary skills shine through on every page.
Cape Cod attorney Marty Nickerson returns in another legal thriller. This time she finds herself defending the former girlfriend of her "significant other" and legal partner, Harry Madigan. Southern beauty Louisa Rawlins is accused of murdering her wealthy older husband. Marty's instinctive belief in Louisa's innocence is complicated by growing evidence to the contrary, and by the demands of the deceased's surviving daughter. Reader Bernadette Dunne capably depicts Marty with practical intelligence and a smart sense of humor, while painting the beguiling 40-something Louisa with feminine charm. The masculine voices, especially Marty's college-age son and the curmudgeonly presiding judge, are equally compelling. N.M.C. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
