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. " ...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 "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, Associated Press "Truly outrageous legal high jinks overlaying an original plot concept—plus, Winslow is fun to be around." - Kirkus Reviews "A winning tale of intrigue with a smash ending." - United Press International

The Anonymous Client – What young attorney wouldn’t be delighted to get a $10,000 cash retainer in the mail? Steve Winslow might have been if he knew who sent it.

"The trial sequence is flashy and great fun." —Kirkus Reviews “[Hits] the bull’s eye." —Publishers Weekly "Another winner from the author of The Baxter Trust." —Library Journal "This is a slick novel [that keeps] reader interest at a peak." —Bangor Daily News "The dialogue here is sharp and rapid-fire.

When Steve Winslow helps a young secretary bring a wrongful termination suit against her former employer, it’s not a particularly interesting case, except for the fact she was hired to type in the nude. That and the fact she doesn’t stick around to pick up her settlement check, and turns out to have given a phony name. “A courtroom drama to stand with the best of them.” – Philadelphia Inquirer “Delightfully devastating.” – Los Angeles Daily News “An intriguing test of the reader’s powers of observation and deduction.” —Booklist “Intriguing...compelling...commands your unwavering attention.” —Pittsburgh Press “Brilliant courtroom scenes...outstrips the competition.” —Drood Review of Mystery

Steve Winslow substitutes a third gun in its place. When the murder takes place, guess which gun did it!

Steve Winslow didn’t understand. The young woman’s court appointed attorney didn’t cost her anything, the guy had just plea-bargained her petty-theft charge down to a suspended sentence with no time served and no fine, so why was she trying to fire him and hire Steve? It was a great deal, except for one thing. She happened to be innocent.
