Victoria Cross: Colonial Defense Attorney — John Bowers

Still tender from his horsewhipping while a prisoner on Sirius, Nick Walker is back on the job. But he's on light duty, which doesn't leave him much to do, so he finds himself helping his fiancée, defense attorney Victoria Cross, defend a pair of bank robbers who said they robbed a bank in...self-defense!Victoria Cross, once a Federation prosecutor and now a Colonial defense attorney, is nothing if not passionate about her work. Although she and Nick work opposite ends of the law (he arrests 'em and she defends 'em), this time they are on the same page.Matthew and Allison Saulsbury robbed the bank because they owed a loan shark who promised to kill them if they didn't pay. Problem is, the loan shark, himself a former Star Marine, is determined to keep the defendants from testifying. His own criminal enterprise is at stake and he will stop at nothing, from kidnapping to murder, to prevent the Saulsburys from exposing him.Bank robbery. Kidnapping. Arson. Witness intimidation. Murder...and lots of gunfire. Don't miss the explosive action as Nick Walker works both sides of the legal street...and Victoria Cross throws down against one of the most dangerous men she has ever faced.Victoria Cross: Colonial Defense Attorney is the 11th volume of the Nick Walker series, and it only gets better after this!
