Saigon Landing

About the Book

Katie O'Brien, the protagonist, is a former prosecutor presently employed as a personal injury litigation specialist in a large law firm in Richfield, Alabama. When a judge asks Katie to agree to represent a man accused of capital murder, she accepts without hesitation. She has always enjoyed indigent defense work and, with a background in psychology and substantial experience in the criminal justice system, she almost thinks of indigent defense work as a sacred obligation. She soon discovers that this is anything but a routine criminal appointment. And when she crosses paths with a formerly disbarred attorney who has insinuated himself into the defense "team" and the ruthless operator of a heavy equipment theft ring, she discovers that she's placed her own life--and that of her kidnapped son--on the line.
