Product Description

Review

Nina Reilly is one of the most compelling heroines to come our way . . . She's definitely a lawyer you'd want to have on your side, Will keep you turning the pages into the night

Product Description

In California, if a person is convicted of two serious crimes and is then found guilty of any subsequent crime, he or she is automatically subject to a prison sentence of twenty-five years to life. This is called the Third Strike law. Nina Reilly's new case is difficult from the start: her young client is facing his Third Strike, and stands accused of grave robbingand of killing the fresh corpse found on top of the coffin. He insists he is innocent of both crimes, and claims he was hired to dig up the grave of Constantin Zhukovsky, who, according to his headstone, was once 'Page to the Tsar'. But who is Zhukovsky, and could he possibly have a connection to the Russian royal family, murdered during the revolution? The sudden disappearance of his bones causes further problems for Nina, and her client's denial is on shaky ground when the murder victim turns out to be one of his classmates. With her client remaining tight-lipped about why he was at Zhukovsky's grave and evidence piling up against him, Nina's got a tough battle aheadone that stretches from the law courts and classrooms of modern-day California, to the intrigues of the Russian Revolution

4.0 out of 5 stars AGREEABLE LISTENING, 20 Sep 2004
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Unlucky in Law (Nina Reilly) (MP3 CD)
Attractive, highly intelligent lawyer Nina Reilly is a force to be reckoned with. However, in this the 10th story to star this in-your-face California gal there's a dark force that may just reckon with her.

Laural Merlington again gives compelling voice to a story that'll hold listeners until the final syllable.

Nina's enjoying some much deserved r&r with the man of her heart, private investigator Paul van Wagoner. Major interruption: a telephone call from her boss Klaus Pohlman handing her a nightmarish case. However, she can hardly say no to the honcho at her firm so she settles in to defend Stefan Wyatt, a known felon. Hardly an estimable track record!

Remember I said "nightmarish" - Stefan has been grave robbing, disturbing the eternal rest of a Russian emigre. Further, a second body was discovered in the grave, a woman whom Stefan knew and he's accused of murdering her. What jury will believe in his innocence or that what Nina and Paul eventually discover dates back to czarist Russia?

Imaginative plotting and likable lead characters make this a worthy listen.

- Gail Cooke
