Insurance litigator Leigh Collins has a knack for turning up that missing e-mail that wins the day or breaking down complex facts to sway a jury. So she’s hoping to make partner with her latest case: cancer researcher Dr. Elijah Rhodes and his life’s work are lost in a lab fire, and Biosolutions looks to cash in on a $100 million policy. Unfortunately, she’s up against Daniel Rubinelli, assistant general counsel for the biotech giant, who has a personal vendetta against cancer. In court, Leigh and Daniel clash from the beginning, ensuring a grueling case. But soon greater concerns emerge. The late doctor might have found a “kill switch” for cancer cells—potentially wiping cancer off the face of the earth. While most of his findings were lost in the fire, he likely backed up his data, though encrypted beyond recovery. Now, in this edge-of-your-seat thriller, two contentious lawyers must set aside their differences to locate the research before the doctor’s greatest discovery falls into the wrong hands…and the secret to life ends in death.

Silicon Valley billionaire Scott Sherman dies, taking life-changing secrets to his grave. But will they stay buried with him? Scott poured a large chunk of his fortune into an aerospace startup called Space Pirates, Inc. Space Pirates is on the brink of a major discovery—but did they use key data stolen from Scott’s old nemesis, Russian scientist Viktorya Mikhailova? Viktorya works for a shadowy Russian institute, which is racing to beat Space Pirates. They sue Space Pirates for the alleged theft—threatening to permanently ground the American company. Further complicating matters, Viktorya’s daughter Arina is a key member of Space Pirates’ scientific team. Space Pirates hires hot-shot San Francisco litigator Leigh Collins to defend the case. Leigh recruits computer expert Kevin Fang and Russian-American detective Sergei Spassky to join her team. They begin to uncover the truth—but some secrets can be deadly . . .
