The Family Lawyer

by Rachel Howzell Hall

First published 2017

Dani Lawrence's world turns upside down when police discover her brother-in-law's body. The man had been cheating on Dani's beloved sister, and now detectives want to question her sibling about his death. Dani knows her sister's marriage was troubled. She knows about the affairs and the fights. She also knows her sister could never kill anyone. But the evidence keeps pointing in one direction, and the investigation grows more serious each day. Dani must make a choice that will define both their futures. She can cooperate with police and risk watching her sister go to prison for a crime she didn't commit. Or she can take matters into her own hands and do whatever it takes to protect the person she loves most. The decision will test every bond of family loyalty and force Dani to discover how far she'll go when everything is on the line.
