Her kind of case

Lee Isaacs is a top-notch criminal defense attorney still coming to terms with the death of her husband five years earlier. She has recently lost a high-profile murder case and worries she might be losing her winning touch. Then she's hired to defend a teenage boy accused of helping a group of skinheads murder a gay man. The boy has confessed to the crime and has no desire to defend himself. But the more Lee looks into this seemingly impossible case, the more convinced she is that the boy actually had nothing to do with the murder at all. The novel follows the twists and turns of Lee's attempts to earn her client's trust, track down promising leads, and deploy her decades of legal expertise to see that an innocent boy isn't doomed to life in prison.
