Byline: A Sohni Silver Mystery

by Kimberly Paulson

The murder of a university student and the subsequent arrest of a homeless man, set a college town on edge. As the ambitious prosecutor rushes to convict, the young public defender representing the accused, Sohni Silver, begins to doubt her client's guilt. Puzzled by the police department’s suspiciously incomplete investigation, Sohni searches for answers and finds unexpected assistance from two unlikely allies – each seeking the truth for their own reasons. The investigation, seen through the eyes of three different characters, unexpectedly leads Sohni to a secret worth killing for. To free her client, Sohni must fight against powerful forces, and a killer who has set his sights on her, all while battling her own demons. And she must do it before time runs out – for both of them.

This is a Sohni Silver mystery that really took my interest. First of all Sohni herself is a great character - strong, independent, real, resourceful and motivated. She is a public defender assigned to a seemingly cut and dry murder case. However Sohni just doesn't buy it after meeting the defendant. As the story develops, Sohni begins to investigate and finds herself subject to increased levels of threat.
A gripping read which takes many unexpected turns. I'll look forward to reading more mysteries with Sohni Silver at the centre.
