With her reputation on the line, one woman must make the ultimate gamble to save her career, her client, and a young boy's life.

Jacqueline Stone is an accomplished criminal defense attorney whose tenacity to uncover the truth has earned her the reputation as the one lawyer who can win unwinnable cases. But when a mysterious car accident kills both her son and husband, leaving her the sole survivor, she is exiled from her prestigious firm. Battling personal demons, Jacqueline finds herself at a crossroads, ready to give up law altogether, until accused murderer Ryan Mitchell seeks her counsel and she sees an opportunity for redemption.

But with evidence mounting against her client, a child witness too traumatized to provide information, and a mysterious photograph leading to more questions than answers, this case will be no easy feat. Jacqueline must navigate treacherous waters to not only save her career but also protect Ryan's young son from a relentless killer. In a high-stakes gamble, she must rely on the wisdom of a deceased woman, as she races against time to solve the murder and unravel a web of deceit that threatens to consume them all.

Industry Reviews

"A lawyer with nothing left to lose uncovers a nest of family secrets in this layered murder mystery that keeps the twists and turns coming right to the very end." -Kelly Simmons, author of Not My Boy

“I was so excited to dive into Her Final Gamble and was thoroughly impressed by both the story and the characters. Each was well-developed and very interesting. I found myself on the edge of my seat the entire time, constantly second-guessing myself about ‘whodunit.' The multiple storylines were seamlessly woven together, making me feel like I was living the story rather than just reading it. It’s exceptionally well-written, with characters so relatable you feel as though you know them personally. I can’t wait to see what she writes next!” —Luisa Livorno Ramondo, Author of Beyond the Cobblestones

“Mary V. Slinkard’s legal expertise shines in this twist-filled debut you won’t be able to put down. Her Final Gamble is the perfect mix of suspense, buried secrets, and emotional depth—with a heroine who must learn to trust herself in a world full of secrets. I was hooked until the final page.” —Emily Giffin, bestselling author of Meant to Be and The Summer Pact

“Her Final Gamble is a tightly woven thriller, full of rich characters, emotional depth, and smart twists that keep you hooked from start to finish.” —Josh Berman, Executive Producer of CSI, Bones, Drop Dead Diva, and The Blacklist
