Sheer Gall — Michael Kahn

It's a case designed to set Rachel Gold's passion for justice ablaze. The St. Louis lawyer has barely taken on fellow attorney--and abused wife--Sally Wade as a client when Sally is found murdered. The prime suspect is her estranged husband, Neville McBride, a blue-blooded, untouchable member of the city's power elite... a man Rachel would love to hang.

But Rachel discovers that McBride may not be the cold-blooded killer she imagined. Nor was Sally quite the innocent lamb she seemed. Soon Rachel is moving into a dangerous labyrinth of deceit and betrayal that stretches from the neon nightlife of a secret sexual underground to the lethal corruption of a blue-chip law firm. With a cast of unsavory suspects personifying a deadly mix of greed, lust, and lies--and a heroine who's pure gold--Michael A. Kahn once again takes readers on a twisting, spinning, unpredictable thrill ride that is sheer excitement.
