Implied Consent: A Maureen Gould Legal Thriller

When a tearful young woman appears at attorney Maureen Gould’s office with a tale of workplace assault, Maureen agrees to fight for her. Surprise evidence? No problem. Witnesses hiding? Maureen will find them. Ironclad agreements? No such thing. But when the defendant, a Hollywood mogul, hires Maureen’s estranged father, long buried secrets pull her back into his dark orbit. Maureen must steel herself to protect her client even as the past threatens to destroy her marriage and her practice.

As Maureen fights for justice, doors are slammed in her face, a witness is murdered, and her office is burglarized. She doesn’t know who she can trust. Clearly, someone is trying to silence her. But Maureen knows that secrecy binds the shamed to the guilty. There is only one way to save her client, and herself, and that is to tell the truth.

Sharp-witted, big-hearted and authentic, Implied Consent is a knock-out of a novel from a writer who knows both the letter of the law and the messiness of real life. Treat yourself – you won’t regret it. – CATRIONA McPHERSON, multi-award- winning author of IN PLACE OF FEAR.
