Junkyard Law: A Michelle Logan Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798215753699)

"It's been so long since we've had a murder in this town that people forget; a murder case is something that drags down everyone involved. There is no good outcome. There are no winners..."

These are some of the first words of advice Michelle Logan hears after being assigned the biggest case of her young legal career. L.L. Reese's debut novel combines equal parts suspense, authentic courtroom drama, and southern charm as it finds Michelle in her third year as a public defender in a small, rural Kentucky county. She is an out-of-towner whose only real connection to this tight knit community is her work.

Lucas Wesley was one of Michelle's first clients. She represented him on multiple occasions for petty crimes as a minor in juvenile court. He comes from a rough family, but isn't too bad of a kid. At least that's what Michelle thought before he was arrested for the murder of his all-American girlfriend, Marcy Waller.

Michelle is now tasked with trying to convince the colorful cast of characters in Cochran County that her client is innocent, even when he isn't so sure himself. The evidence appears to be overwhelming, but in Cochran County things aren't always as they seem. Read along in this legal thriller as Michelle must resort to "Junkyard Law" and attempt to use every scrap of evidence and legal maneuvering she can muster to help save Lucas Wesley. Hopefully she doesn't uncover one small town secret too many along the way and end up in danger herself.
