Wrongful Termination — Michael Farris

When you strike a deal with the Devil, there's hell to pay. Law associate Meg Kelly is fired after she blows the whistle on fraudulent billing by the firm's most powerful partner, Tripp Malloy. She teams up with Bay Muckleroy, a partner in the firm, who champions Meg's wrongful termination case. But soon, they wade into a murderous undercurrent, discovering that Malloy is a government hit man who launders his contract payments as legal fees -- and who will do whatever it takes to silence Meg and Bay.
