World-renowned Attorney Alexandra Phillips has a knack for turning open and shut cases for the prosecution into wins for the defense. In the third installment of the Behind Closed Doors Series, Attorney Phillips defends another victim who is accused of murdering her abuser.
With the world still reeling from the effects of COVID-19, Protagonist Attorney Alexandra Phillips is determined to uncover the truth behind the mysterious HIV strain that is discovered as she searches for a key piece of evidence to exonerate her client. Her client, an adulterous Dallas housewife is accused of murder. Motive? As it turns out, her slain lover was HIV positive and the primary purpose of his seduction was to maliciously expose her to the disease. As a crime of passion attorney, Attorney Phillips is convinced that a Texas jury would exonerate her client if she could prove the decedent's intent to expose her client to the disease...but there's one problem. Her client is innocent, and without a confession, the crime of passion defense isn't an option.
With her client's freedom hanging in the balance, Attorney Phillips concedes to the fact that the only viable defense is to find the killer...
Follow Attorney Phillips as she untangles a multilayered conspiracy of cover-ups, betrayal and revenge. Combining elements of murder-mystery and medical drama with an urban twist, this captivating page-turner is sure to leave die-hard readers wanting more.
Pre-Publication Reviews
"The story’s forensic, medical, and legal details are well-researched and satisfying, and it unflinchingly addresses timely social issues, such as systemic poverty, while never allowing the pace to slacken. Overall, Smith delivers a gripping novel that will leave many readers demanding a sequel. A work with a strong, likable protagonist and a plot that will keep readers guessing".—Kirkus
"Malicious Intent was full of drama, twists, and risks. A. L. Smith kept me on the edge of my chair waiting to see who did it, how, and why. The plot was perfectly executed. Moments where I was introduced to a main character but I still didn't know all of the facts. I liked how that played out...kept the clues hidden in plain sight. Angel's life took a complete 360 turn when she made one mistake out of anger. Martial issues were displayed throughout the pages. It was understandable. Angel thought her husband didn't love her anymore. Her husband Chandler, thought he gave her too much. Both missed the signals. Communication lacked and because of that so did their marriage. It was engaging to watch the events unfold. Overall, I recommend this outstanding urban fiction novel to all readers".--Urban Lit Magazine
