Witness for the Defense (Kali O'Brien series Book 4)

With her unique blend of courtroom drama and feverish suspense, critically acclaimed author Jonnie Jacobs has won a legion of fans for her Kali Oâ€™Brien thrillers. Now the edgy San Francisco attorney is back to handle a simple adoption â€“ and winds up defending her client for murder . . .

Straightforward and short term: thatâ€™s precisely the kind of case Kali Oâ€™Brien needs at the moment. Yet the Harper adoption makes her uneasy from the start. Maybe itâ€™s because psychologist Steven Cross â€“ a man whose path hasnâ€™t crossed hers since the tragedy that shattered his life and their forbidden relationship years ago â€“ unexpectedly referred the couple to her. Or could it be that Ted and Terri Harperâ€™s previous brush with parenthood ended in heartache when the birth mother changed her mind?

This time around, the former star quarterback and his lovely blonde wife arenâ€™t taking any chances. Theyâ€™ve even moved pregnant Melissa Burke into their lavish Pacific Heights home. As Kali watches her determined clients shower the lonesome teenager with love and attention, she canâ€™t help wondering just how desperate they are to claim the unborn child. When Melissa delivers a health6 baby girl and promptly signs the final adoption papers, Kali breathes a sigh of relief . . . until Bram Weaver surfaces.

The controversial, chauvinistic radio talk show host announces heâ€™s the babyâ€™s father â€“ a claim Melissa canâ€™t dispute. With a sinking heart, Kali prepares to defend the Harpers in a bitter custody battle thatâ€™s certain to end in the birth fatherâ€™s favor â€“ until the case takes a shocking turn when somebody murders Weaver. Despite Terri Harperâ€™s staunch denial, the police have compelling evidence linking her to the crime, leaving Kali to wonder how far an emotion-fraught new mother will go to protect her child.

Once again, Jonnie Jacobs delivers an explosive, fast-paced thriller infused with authenticity and well-drawn characters. Witness for the Defense is a razor-sharp ride through the ethical dilemmas ripped from todayâ€™s headlines.
