From the NY Times bestselling author Debbi Mack:
Can a lawyer defend two clients of murder before becoming the next victim?
Stephanie Ann Sam McRae's life as a Maryland lawyer takes a chaotic turn when two clients are accused of murder. A poor, black girl is accused of killing her mother. A young man suspected of embezzlement is accused of murdering his boss. The cases collide in a bizarre way involving girl gangs and computer pornography.
Sam ventures into the heart of DC's suburban ghettos to find answers. A maniacal killer who'll do anything to hide them stalks her. After a nearly disastrous confrontation, Sam must do business on the run. As the body count grows, Sam races to learn the truth and clear her clients before she becomes the next victim.
LEAST WANTED is a brave, heartbreaking, and thrilling book with a complex plot that takes attorney Sam McRae on a dizzying tour of several circles of urban hell, against a backdrop of white-collar crime. I loved it, and I admire Mack for writing it without flinching or suggesting easy answers. It's a sequel that outdoes IDENTITY CRISIS and holds the promise of a great series.
-- Timothy Hallinan, author of THE QUEEN OF PATPONG and CRASHED
In LEAST WANTED, Debbi Mack serves up a solid mystery plot wired together with high octane suspense. Washington, DC attorney Sam McRae is smart, tough and dedicated, but her latest cases in LEAST WANTED push her to her limits. Defending two clients accused of murder, she finds herself dealing with girl gangs, pornography and crazed killers. For mystery and suspense, it's Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan in Baltimore and Robert B. Parker's Spenser in Boston, but Sam McRae is the woman to have at your back in Washington.
-- Austin S. Camacho, author of the Hannibal Jones mystery series
Sam McRae is back and as brash as ever, with a colorful cast, a relentless plot, and enough twists to leave you breathless. Debbi Mack has carved her own niche in the mystery pantheon.
-- Scott Nicholson, author of DISINTEGRATION
LEAST WANTED hooks you from the start and never lets go. A fascinating and absorbing mystery.
-- Simon Wood, author of THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
Fast-paced and brimming with dark, twisting plot turns, LEAST WANTED will keep crime and mystery buffs off balance and guessing until the very end.
- J.T. Cummins, author of COBBLESTONES
From its clever--and ironic--title to the carefully drawn characters ..., LEAST WANTED is a worthy sequel to Debbi Mack's first crime novel.
-- Jeremiah Healy, author of THE ONLY GOOD LAWYER and A STAIN UPON THE ROBE
Sam McRae is not your run of the mill attorney. She is a strong, intelligent, and fiercely committed advocate, who puts her life on the line in the pursuit of justice. Author Debbi Mack brings to the hardboiled genre, a fresh voice and direct writing style that gives this richly layered mystery a feeling of authenticity I found wholly compelling. The multifaceted plot grips the reader like a falcon's talons and never lets go.
--Lawrence Kelter, bestselling author of The Stephanie Chalice Mystery Series
