The Bayou Privilege

When attorney Micki Lane moves back to her hometown of Liberty, Texas, she has no idea that old ghosts from her former job as a forensic chemist will reappear to haunt her. Thirteen years earlier she had been called to the crime scene of a murder: her friend Wayne Jeffries. The trial of the man accused of his murder ended in an unexpected mistrial.

Now, to help a friend, she is drawn into the reinvestigation of the Jeffries case. More bodies keep turning up: deep in the bayou, on the beach, in a seedy motel. With the help of a small band of friends, Micki finds herself more involved than she would ever have suspected.

Dallari Lynne Landry is a native Texan. She grew up reading mysteries and poetry as a child, and wrote her first story when she was nine. Her degree in Biology and minor in Chemistry came in handy when she was a chemist-toxicologist with the Jefferson County Regional Crime Lab in Beaumont. Testifying as an expert witness and dealing with the legal aspects of her cases enticed her into attending St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio. Presently, she practices criminal defense and does family law mediations in the Texas Hill Country
