About this ebook
Jack Mayham is a criminal defense attorney with plenty to prove. Fired from three law firms in four years, he believes he's been given the chance of a lifetime to get back on his feet. Soon after depositing a retainer for $250,000, he learns saving the stunning Lisa LeRouse Bedford from the prosecuting attorney is the least of his worries.
Lisa’s husband, Earl, was found dead, floating in their swimming pool. The police suspect foul play, as well they should. According to the autopsy report, someone held Earl underwater a bit too long.
The prosecutor's case is built on rolling hills of circumstantial evidence, and the fact the widow stands to inherit millions now that her husband is dead. Will the receipt for the purchase of a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes be enough to convince the prosecutor Lisa had nothing to do with her husband’s demise? It better, it’s all Jack has to prove her alibi. If the shoes fit, you must acquit.
If only it were that easy.

About the author
Excerpt: PORTRAIT OF CONSPIRACY
MURDER AND MAYHAM
Jack Mayham placed the last of his personal items in a box and turned to take one last look out of his Manhattan office window at a cloudless blue sky. An IRS audit resulted in the Law Firm of Lark, Whim, and Fault having to pay $800,000 in penalties and back taxes. Within hours of the news, the managing partner of the firm had told him to vacate his office. It was the third law firm to do so in four years. Each had suffered the wrath of the IRS within months of his joining the firms. The continued punishment bought on as a result of him being caught naked while sharing a hot-tub with an IRS agent’s sister.
He turned to pick up the cardboard box. A blonde, wearing a Luis Vuitton low-cut red dress stepped into his office. Her diamond necklace alone, not to mention the Cartier La Dona watch, was probably valued at far more than he’d earned the past five years. She sashayed from the doorway to the front of his desk. Her hip movements appeared to be in slow motion, compared to his heart rate. The sunlight shone through the window behind him reflected off her diamonds. He shaded his eyes from the dazzling array of sparkle.
The woman appeared to be in her late twenties.
Are you Jack Mayham?
He lowered his hand and made his way around his desk to greet her.
