About
The Lee Danforth Series is about one woman's fight for justice in a world where the system itself is complicit.
Charleston attorney Lee Danforth has built her career on control and credibility: a sharp legal mind, an impeccable reputation, and the determination never to be powerless again. But when cases start pulling her into the darkest corners of the American South, she finds herself confronting the very things she's spent her life trying to escape.
From trafficking rings operating behind the respectable walls of a children's home to corrupt politicians hiding behind privilege, Lee takes on predators who count on silence and institutions designed to protect them. To expose the truth, she'll have to face her own buried trauma and tear down the carefully constructed lies of people in power.
If you love the relentless heroines of Lisa Gardner, Karin Slaughter, and J.D. Robb, this is legal thriller territory where justice doesn't come easy, the past refuses to stay buried, and one determined woman can make a difference.
