Double Jeopardy

Murder. Lies. Corruption. Just another day at the office.

A young man, Michael, dies while in custody at the county jail. The authorities claim it was a heart attack.

His mom thinks it was murder.

Attorney Daniel Raine agrees to take the case, suing the jail for wrongful death. But no one will talk about what happened in Michael’s cell on that fateful night. The guards claim they saw nothing and there’s no surveillance video.

Raine starts to dig and soon discovers that the dead man wasn’t just a petty criminal. He was an informant for a narcotics detective who is trying to take down a drug cartel.

Now Raine and his erstwhile partner, Rebecca Sommers, must unravel the mystery. Did someone order Michael’s murder? And if so, was it the cartel?

Or was it one of the good guys?

Double Jeopardy – the fourth book in the brilliant legal thriller series featuring attorney Daniel Raine.
