She's beautiful. She's unstable. And she's accused of murder. Young attorney Aidan Collins lands his first major case defending Marina Vasiliev, a stunningly beautiful but troubled woman charged with murdering her wealthy husband. Marina swears she's innocent, but her mind is a minefield of delusions and blackouts. With no memory of the night her husband died, she's a ticking time bomb of unpredictable behavior. Aidan gambles everything on an insanity defense, but Marina refuses to play the victim. Instead, she fixates on Aidan as her lover, dragging him into a dangerous dance of seduction and lies. The clock is ticking. The evidence is mounting. And Aidan's grip on reality is slipping. One day, Aidan is convinced of her innocence; the next, he's certain she's guilty. As new evidence surfaces and the case takes unexpected turns, his confidence in an insanity defense wavers. Is Marina a cold-blooded killer or an innocent pawn in a deadly conspiracy? With the trial looming and his own life on the line, Aidan must navigate a tangled maze of deception to expose the shocking truth--before it's too late. Insanity Defense explodes with relentless suspense, breakneck twists and a pulse-pounding climax that will leave you breathless. Brace yourself for a thrill ride through the darkest corners of the human mind. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for the Southern California Legal Thrillers: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bravo to my favorite author! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This has all the suspense and thrills that I enjoy. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Strong women and great lawyers clash with the truth. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well written and a great plot. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is definitely a five star book and series. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First rate courtroom thriller with all the background. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This book satisfies all who have ever felt wronged.
