Blue Awakening

A Nickey Monroe Legal Mystery

Sawgrass was supposed to be a peaceful retreat...

The Colorado mountain town of Sawgrass was supposed to bring peace to career trial attorney and judge Nickey Monroe, who had recently been widowed. But when a judge calls in a favor, she finds herself defending Blue Daniels, a woman whose past is entangled with the state's Governor and a shocking scandal. As Nickey digs deeper, she uncovers a conspiracy far more dangerous than a simple theft, with powerful enemies willing to manufacture evidence and silence anyone who gets in their way. Can this reluctant retiree navigate a treacherous legal battle and protect her client from forces that play for keeps?

With fabricated evidence, a client who knows too much, and powerful officials desperate to keep a lid on a three-year-old affair, Nickey must unearth the truth before it buries her client—and perhaps, herself. "Blue Awakening" is a gripping legal thriller where nothing is as it seems, and the price of justice might just be more than anyone bargained for.

With a sexist, arrogant prosecutor on her heels and a loyal dog by her side, Nickey and her legal team, consisting of Barton Griggs, her long-time investigator and cowboy poet, and Dr. Will David, an old friend and forensics expert, must fight for justice before the powerful win out. And in the midst of the court case, Nickey might awaken to a new love.

Small towns harbor dark secrets, and some people will do anything to keep them buried.
