False witness [large print] : a thriller / Phillip Margolin.

Margolin, Phillip, (author.).

Summary:

"Defense Attorney Karen Wyatt exposed corruption in the police force and the District Attorney's office while getting her client exonerated in court. But in doing so, she put a target on her back and she was set up on a fake drug charge, imprisoned, and disbarred until the conspiracy unraveled and her innocence was proven. Now reinstated to the bar, Wyatt is still interested in finding out who ordered her to be set up-but the key figures were either killed or are in Witness Protection. In the meantime, Wyatt is a practicing defense attorney, whose current client is either guilty of a heinous murder, or is a too-trusting patsy for an acquaintance-set up for a crime he didn't commit. It will take all of Wyatt's genius to defend her client successfully, but that's just one piece of an increasingly complex puzzle ... a deadly criminal drug gang, a powerful, corrupt figure hiding in the DA's office, and a congressman who turned up with an unbelievable story after disappearing for days ..."-- Provided by publisher.
