Beyond Malice

Sexy, brilliant Nora Royce is the darling of L.A.'s biggest law firm until she's accused of murdering a partner's wife. When the legal community turns against her, she turns to Amanda Cross for help. Amanda, a third rate attorney and Nora's sister, is outgunned, underfunded, and wary of her sister especially when her defense is indefensible. With the help of an investigator with a chip on his shoulder, Amanda peels away the protective layers of those who are rich, powerful, and seemingly beyond reproach to find an ugly truth that can destroy all of them.
