Synopsis

Someone has been watching D.A. Rachel Knight--someone who's Rachel's equal in brains, but with more malicious intentions. It began when a near-impossible case fell into Rachel's lap, the suspectless homicide of a homeless man. In the face of courthouse backbiting and a gauzy web of clues, Rachel is determined to deliver justice. She's got back-up: tough-as-nails Detective Bailey Keller. As Rachel and Bailey stir things up, they're shocked to uncover a connection with the vicious murder of an LAPD cop a year earlier. Something tells Rachel someone knows the truth, someone who'd kill to keep it secret.

Harrowing, smart, and riotously entertaining, GUILT BY DEGREES is a thrilling ride through the world of LA courts with the unforgettable Rachel Knight.

About this title

Review:

It's no big surprise that Marcia Clark knows her way around a courtroom, and a murder mystery - but she's also a terrific writer and storyteller. (James Patterson)

Spying on the system's inner workings proves increasingly addictive, and it's refreshing to find a lead character pursuing a stressful life because she actually enjoys it. A blade-sharp read. (Financial Times)

GUILT BY DEGREES kept me guessing to the last page - and then impatient to read more about Rachel Knight. (Joseph Finder)

Exemplary...Clark humanizes her tough lead, and gets the mixture of action and investigative legwork just right (Publishers Weekly)

Written with verve and wit, this is a superior piece of crime fiction that entertains from beginning to end. (Canberra Times)

Book Description:
