A lawyer finds unexpected romance while investigating the most important case of her life in this energetic inspirational thriller from Dylan (Lone Witness). Mia Shaw is on her way to making partner at a prestigious Atlanta law firm when Chase, her best friend and coworker, is murdered. Determined to find justice, Mia pours herself into investigating Chase’s death and proving the guilt of the primary suspect, David McDonald, who had recently been in a fight with Chase; she also works on a high-profile corporate malfeasance case Chase left behind. When the handsome cofounder of her friend’s security firm, Noah Ramirez, begins assisting the defense in the investigation to prove David’s innocence (despite the mountain of evidence against him) Mia is frustrated by his persistence. But she is also intrigued by his kind and protective nature. Then, while working on Chase’s final case, Mia finds threats and strange possible links to his murder—including a mysterious flash drive with information on the case, hidden in his desk. After being attacked in the street, Mia must rely on her newfound faith and growing friendship with Noah to find strength and push forward in seeking justice for her friend. Dylan skillfully combines exciting legal suspense and subtle romance that will satisfy inspirational thriller fans. (Feb.)
