Absent Witness — Nancy Kopp

Eight months after a car accident leaves Katherine Buckley in a coma, a blood test reveals that she is three months pregnant. Her parents are as shocked as they are angry, and they want attorney Carrie Nelson to find the man who assaulted their daughter - and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.

Katherine was a patient at nationally renowned Jackson Memorial Hospital when she was mysteriously impregnanted, and Carrie knows that behind this institution's carefully maintained facade lies all the evidence she needs to take her case to trial - and win. But even with the help of her colleague, Will, it's not going to be easy to uncover the truth - because someone with a lot to lose is giving a brutal new meaning to the term 'obstruction of justice'...
