About the Book:

Riveting new series offers legal suspense with a romantic twist

In the biggest case of her career, attorney Kate Sullivan is tapped as lead counsel to take on Mason Pharmaceutical because of a corporate cover-up related to its newest drug. After a whistleblower dies, Kate knows the stakes are much higher than her other lawsuits.

Former Army Ranger turned private investigator Landon James is still haunted by mistakes made while serving overseas. Trying to forget the past, he is hired by Kate to look into the whistleblower's allegation and soon suspects that the company may be engaging in a dangerous game for profit. He also soon finds himself falling for this passionate and earnest young lawyer.

Determined not to make the same mistakes, he's intent on keeping Kate safe, but as the case deepens, it appears someone is willing to risk everything-even murder-to keep the case from going to trial.

Dynamic Uno here:   Murder, suspense, and a love connection--count me in!  Deadly Proof starts off with high intensity action and drama that doesn't stop until the last page. 

I was drawn in by the main character, Kate, as she rallied for justice for her victims.  As a lawyer, rather than take the bait and blow off the case underhandedly, she followed the rules and did everything above board on the case. (Lawyers and honesty? What a concept!) This not only gave me a better picture into how the justice systems works, but also made me respect her integrity and made me care about her and the craziness surrounding the case.  I especially liked how honest and open she was about how God has used her wayward past to make her into the compassionate woman she is in the story.  You can see His love in her actions and I love it when the characters live out their faith.

Deadly Proof is the first book in the Atlanta Justice series and I can't wait to read the others!  If you enjoy legal thrillers with a bit of romance, this is the book for you!

Why I Read this Book: I've been a fan of legal thrillers for many years and the premise behind False Witness intrigued me.  I mean, how on earth could the plight of the Dalits in India have any relation to a bail bondsman, the FBI, and the Chinese Mafia in the United States? 

Yep, from the first couple of lines to the very end of the book, I was completely hooked.  I even started doing a little "research" of my own to see if there was some kind of loophole they could use in the story.  (Sorry, but you're going to have to read it to find out what I'm talking about here.)



What I Liked:  The characters seemed like they would fit a stereotypical mold (i.e., bail bondsman, law students, etc.) but when placed in completely out-of-character situations, the reader was really able to see the storyline shine.  Not to mention all of the twists and turns along the way.  (Did I mention that this is a thriller and you'll get sucked in?)  Just as I thought I was figuring out what was going to happen, the storyline changed and I felt like I was fleeing/fighting just like the characters.
I also like that the author, Randy Singer, is donating the proceeds of False Witness to help the Dalits.  You can visit the Dalit Freedom Network to get more information on the plight of this underserved population.

What I Didn't Like: I can't really say too much because it will give so much away.  Let's just say that I was so engrossed in the story, that I wasn't too happy about some of the decisions the characters made throughout the book--although I understand completely that those decisions are what moved the story along.  But that doens't mean I have to agree with them. :)  (How's that for vague?)



Overall Impression: If you are ready for a lot of action and suspense, then this is the book for you.  I'd tell you to buckle your seatbelt and enjoy the ride, but that might just get you killed in this book.  Lock your doors, draw your shades, and stay away from the windows.  If you hear helicopters, you're already dead.  Yep--it's THAT intense. 



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
