Last Stand (Jessie Black Legal Thrillers #11)

A prosecutor torn between justice and loyalty. A cage fighter with a score to settle. And an innocent man desperate to clear his name.

When interim District Attorney Jessie Black's friend and mentor is accused of a nightmarish crime, she knows he's innocent. Jesus Rivera is a good man, a lawyer who's guided her throughout her career. But without proof, her hands are tied. She can't intervene without breaking the trust of the city that appointed her.

But Jessie can't let it go - and her detective husband Mark Leary is right there with her.

The deeper they dig, the more deadly the situation becomes. They uncover blackmail, murder, and a vicious Philly crime family bent on Rivera’s downfall. But it’s when they encounter the wildcard that is Hannah O'Sullivan - a fierce mixed martial artist with rage issues and an enigmatic link to the case - that things really go off the rails.

With betrayals around every corner and the clock ticking on Rivera's trial, Jessie and Leary race to find the truth. But at what cost? Will their loyalty to a friend destroy everything they've worked for? Or will justice prevail?
