Trial by Ambush: A Robin Starling Legal Thriller (Volume 1)

Suppose Perry Mason were a 5'11" thirty-year-old blonde who had to put up with opposing counsel staring at his chest or checking out his legs. Suppose the judge addressed him as “young lady.” Robin Starling, the lawyer in this first-person legal thriller, takes it with wry amusement and only occasional flashes of irritation. Her goal, as Mason’s was two generations before her, is to do whatever it takes to win the acquittal of her client—even if that client is her ex-boyfriend. Even if she caught him cheating on her, with the murder victim, on the very night of the murder. The first of the Robin Starling legal thrillers is a tightly plotted thriller with a light tone and an athletic protagonist with a weak sense of personal modesty.
