Deadly Proof

Since I love Christian suspense books I am always willing to try out a new author. I did just that with a new series..Deadly Proof by Rachel Dylan.  It is book one in her Atlanta Justice series. Since she is a litigator at one of the nations top legal firms, I figured she would know how to write a legal thriller..and she did.
Kate Sullivan is tapped as lead counsel in a corporate cover-up lawsuit again Mason Pharmaceutical. The company touted a new drug to cure migranes, but instead, it killed a sixteen year old girl. Kate wants justice for the mother of the victim and also realizes this could make her career. Is this a dangerous drug that caused brain tumors in the young lady or was it just a coincidence?  Counsel for the pharmaceutical company is a good friend which complicates the whole process of information between the two of  them. Bring in Ellie Proctor, a scientist at MPC, that hints to Kate about problems with the drug and the coverup that is being played out. Next, Ellie turns up dead and the stakes are higher, especially against Kate. Landon James, a former Army Ranger steps in to handle security for Kate. There appears that someone is willing to do anything to keep this case from going to trial..even murder. Can Landon keep Kate safe and who is the guilty party in this case?

This turned out to be an enjoyable read. You could tell the author was a lawyer and a litigator because of all the legal terms used throughout the book.  Some were confusing to me, but made the book what it is..a legal thriller. I felt that I was in the courtroom with Kate and how she works to defend her client. Will be looking forward to book two in this series.

Thanks to Bethany House Publishers for this book to review just for my honest opinion.
