Mistress of Justice

An early crime novel written before Deaver's breakout thrillers - now published in the UK for the first time.

Taylor Lockwood spends her days working as a paralegal in one of New York s pre-eminent Wall Street law firms and her nights playing jazz piano anywhere she can. But the rhythm of her life is disrupted when attorney Mitchell Reece requests her help in locating a stolen document that could cost him not only the multimillion dollar case he s defending but his career as well.

Eager to get closer to this handsome, brilliant and very private man, Taylor signs on...only to find that as she delves deeper and deeper into what goes on behind closed doors at Hubbard, White & Willis, she uncovers more than she wants to know including a plenitude of secrets damaging enough to smash careers and dangerous enough to push someone to commit murder.

Yet who is capable of going to that extreme? With her life on the line, Taylor is about to learn the lethal answer...
