About this audiobook

Critics call Perri O’Shaughnessy’s legal thrillers “terrific…will keep you turning the pages into the night” (USA Today) and “gripping” (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review).

Now the New York Times bestselling author ratchets up the suspense yet again with an electrifying novel that plunges Lake Tahoe attorney Nina Reilly into a shadowy world of high-stakes money and cold-blooded murder….

An attorney and single mother, Nina Reilly sees other people’s ups and downs as clearly as she sees her own. But she’s never seen anything like the fierce, terrified young woman who comes to her in the middle of the night, trailing a computer geek who was a stranger a few hours before. Their problem: they just won seven million dollars at the slot machines. Within hours, her client’s good fortune has plunged Nina into a battle that will be waged in court and on the streets. The young woman’s past—and the mysterious death of her husband in Hawaii—has triggered a powerful man’s crusade of revenge. But a moment of chance and enough money to save two troubled lives has done something worse: it’s brought a killer into their midst….

    The story is set primarily around the Lake Tahoe region, although a small but important part of the story takes place in Oahu, Hawaii. Both places are evoked well in the writing. There are some very nice maps on the inside covers of the books for those who are unfamiliar with the Lake Tahoe region. This is the 7th of a series of novels that features attorney Nina Reilly, although it is the first one that I read. I felt no disadvantage in reading this without a prior history in the series, however. There is a good cast of characters, mostly off-beat ones, although we do get the snakey lawyer Jeff Riesner as one of the main nemeses of the story, primarily regarding his conflicts of interest and antagonism towards Nina Reilly, both personally and in the courtroom. He’s the kind of guy who give lawyers a bad name, whereas Nina is the kind who should give lawyers a good one.The primary storyline revolves around a young self-sufficient, but very poor woman who thinks she is being stalked and goes into a casino looking to lose her pursuer and hits a huge jackpot. She tries to keep her identity hidden because she is being hunted by her ex-father-in-law who holds her responsible for the death of his son. The book tells several tales within the construct of the larger story and I found them all interesting, involving and entertaining. The gaming/gambling industry isn’t portrayed in a good light, particularly with regard to slot machines and the detrimental effect gambling has on members of society. It doesn’t really get preachy however, just tells the tale and let you form your own opinions. The last part of the book mostly centers on the courtroom drama as Nina fights against the odds to resolve questions and protect her client as best she can against the ominous “Writ of Execution” entered against her. It has a good, satisfying ending.
