Fish in a Barrel — Amy Lane

Jackson and Ellery face their toughest case yet -- against the criminal justice system itself.

Jackson Rivers and Ellery Cramer have worked difficult jobs before, but usually it's getting the facts that's the problem. For their newest client, the trouble isn't finding the truth -- it's corruption at the highest levels of the justice system. It isn't enough to find the actual perpetrator and unveil a heartless plot -- not when the DA is the bad guy and he's using cops as his goons. Keeping their vulnerable client alive and out of jail takes blood, sweat, and tears.

When one of their major antagonists is killed and the DA tries to pin the death on Jackson, he'll need every ounce of luck and all his resources to clear his name -- and to find the perpetrator before the DA can use the murder to further his own agenda. They soon find that it's easier to spot an honest man in a field of thieves than it is to shoot fish in a barrel -- and both the man and the fish will be lucky to survive….

Fish in a Barrel is the seventh book in RITA-nominated author Amy Lane's Fish Out of Water romantic suspense series.
