It started with a promise, a pact. It became a secret that no one must tell - that their parents were dead and gone, including the one they'd buried in the backyard.
Now the McNair children are growing older, discovering love, college, and careers. But their lie haunts them. Their home holds them captive. Only the horrifying truth of their mother's death can set the children free. And only the truth can destroy them all.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

On the right side of the law. Sort of. Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee: his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy.

Publisher's summary
Travis Morgan’s case seems open and shut: A plot to kill his estranged father, fundamentalist preacher Arlie Morgan, goes awry and his bullet slays an innocent bookkeeper. Two eyewitnesses seal Travis’ fate. But despite damning evidence and an admitted hatred of his father, Travis staunchly maintains his innocence.
Beseeched by his anguished mother, veteran defense attorney Barbara Holloway agrees to represent Travis. With the support of her father, attorney Frank Holloway, and crack private investigator Bailey, Barbara reveals a zealot, his ultrarich backers, and unimaginable atrocities. Travis’ case proceeds to trial, and Barbara finds herself pitted against a complacent legal system and a judge eager to simply close the case and retire. Knowing she must intervene decisively to avoid a conviction, Barbara steps squarely into the path of danger. Risking her own life, Barbara confronts the killer in order to save Travis’.
Kate Wilhelm is the best-selling author of dozens of novels and short-story collections. Among her novels are the popular courtroom thrillers featuring attorney Barbara Holloway. Her other works include the science fiction classic Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang. Born in Ohio, she now lives in Eugene, Oregon.

This one's a winner!!
What a delight! Finally, a book by an author, new to me, whom I thoroughly enjoyed! Not only was the story line intriguing, but the narrator was very, very good. With all the different characters, male, female, and so many different accents, she kept them going beautifully...
It was a mystery right up to the end.
This may have been the first book by Wilhelm that I've read, but it won't be my last! I would definitely recommend this book.

Cultist
On a gut feeling, attorney Barbara Holloway agrees to defend Travis Morgan in what looks like an open and shut case against him. Two eyewitnesses saw Travis shoot a man in Travis's father's house, but Travis does not recall the event. As Barbara investigates the crime, she discovers a trail of inconsistencies and sick acts that puts the integrity of the church Travis grew up in, the church his father runs, into question. The story exposes a layer of gritty realism that stuck with me. Well plotted. Well written and well performed.

If you like a good trial story…
Before or after I love the blow-by-blow of the Barbra Holloway trials and this did not disappoint. You could solve the mystery of who done it well before the trial, but you did not have the gory details or know how it would turn out. This is my favorite narrator for the Barbra Holloway series. If you are a fan of Barbara Holloway I highly recommend this book.

Favorite story in series
Read them all and so far the client's story the best. Very relevant even though written 10 years ago. Creepy Darin is back and his weird son. I keep hoping they would break up or he would go for whatever reason (job, death). I amost threw up when Darin thinks it is great that he is pounding Barbara so hard that she can barely walk, not my idea of saucy or romantic. At one point Darin considers using son to spy on Barbara while he goes out of town - creepier. Think author trying to protray son as a genius good kid, but it comes off is weird, just the type to bring a gun to school. Also does Barbara have a drinking problem and why does Frank eat so much lamb when he has a heart problem?
