false 834879 10 Nobody in the exploding field of legal thrillers catches the day-to-day life of a working lawyer better than the O'Shaughnessy sisters--lawyer Pamela and writer Mary, who collaborate under the joint byline of Perri. This is the fifth in their series about lawyer Nina Reilly. O'Shaughnessy expertly balances Reilly's life between the working half and the private half (raising her 16-year-old son as a single mother and finding the time and place for romance). The fact that both parts take place in the heavenly venue of Lake Tahoe only adds to the reading pleasure. <p> <I>Acts of Malice</I> begins with a jolt: the manager of one of the area's largest ski resorts is charged with the murder of his brother, and hires Nina to defend him. But this will not be an easy case for Nina since the prosecutor, Collier Hallowell, is the man who shook up her life so violently by walking out on her a year before. Also, Nina and her immediate circle find themselves in danger from the very client that they are defending.<p> Other examples of the O'Shaughnessy expertise include <I>Breach of Promise</I> and <I>Motion to Suppress</I>. <I>--Dick Adler</I> 1052836 1999 Acts of Malice total:214|5:44|4:90|3:70|2:9|1:1| 214 809 300 10 2 0 false true Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 16:17:06 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 16:29:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jun 07 19:55:07 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 19:56:14 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Thu Dec 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 13:22:37 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 13:51:41 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Thu Aug 20 11:29:26 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 11:29:46 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 14 06:33:35 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 14 06:36:36 -0700 2007
