Defending an accused rapist, a high-powered lawyer learns firsthand the terrible truth about her client . . . a discovery that propels her on a quest for justice and revenge in this addictively readable thriller from the author of The Cage.
Kelly McCann is a fighter. She’s fought to build a successful legal career, fought for the special needs of her family, and tirelessly fought for her clients. Her specialty is defending men accused of sex crimes––falsely accused, she always maintains. Her detractors call her a traitor to her gender, but she doesn’t care. Badass and brilliant, Kelly simply loves to win, and as the story opens, she’s done it again, securing an acquittal for a renowned scientist accused of sexually assaulting his female employees.
But the thrill of her victory is short-lived. That very night she, too, falls victim of a brutal sexual assault. And almost as horrific as the attack is the fact that she can’t tell anyone it happened—not without destroying her career in the process.
Kelly has never backed down from a fight and she’s not about to start pulling her punches now. Joining forces with her rapist’s other victims, the shrewd lawyer plans to turn the tables on him. It’s not only about justice—these wronged women are out for revenge.
But someone, it seems, is out for them, and one by one, they find themselves facing even greater danger.
Kelly McCann has a reputation for defending men accused of sex crimes and winning, whether through her courtroom arguments or private settlements with the alleged victims.
Author Bonnie Kistler introduces readers to McCann in Her, Too following a successful win defending a renowned researcher. McCann never really focused on the actual guilt of the perpetrator, which may have led to her vulnerability. A celebratory meeting to collect her bonus check from the researcher devolves into McCann’s worst nightmare.
As a victim, she can’t report it because it would put her job in jeopardy. Instead, McCann vows revenge and partners with the very women she had bought off and discredited.
Little does she know that evil wears many faces. As the victims fall prey to a killer determined to silence them, McCann faces the fight of her life. The secondary storyline regarding her family adds an extra level of depth.
Not only is Her, Too a timely narrative, but it delivers plenty of spine-tingling thrills at the hands of a woman determined to see justice served.
