Looks Can Kill
A new crime thriller from Sylvia Mulholland
Synopsis…
Ambitious junior lawyer, Kate Clark, snags a dream job with one of LA’s top women attorneys. How could Kate know that her first big case would soon become her worst nightmare? Way out of her comfort zone, she begs the help of her former employer, a seedy ambulance chaser in the San Fernando Valley. The sensational show trial of a has-been supermodel accused of murdering her plastic surgeon is red meat for the LA Press. Worse, the glaring spotlight is now on defence counsel, Kate Clark, who must hide her shameful past. If not, she might well be sharing a prison cell with her client.
