Enter to win 1 of 10 copies of my new legal thriller, Weighing the Truth—a Goodreads Giveaway through Oct. 8, 2017 Weighing the Truth by Christine Z. Mason
.". . an emotionally supercharged domestic thriller. . . [Weighing the Truth] will have suspense fans turning pages until the very end."-Kirkus Reviews
"Weighing the Truth's legal suspense story opens with Natalya Drummond and her colleague's visit to their client in San Quentin Prison, as they work on his death-row appeal case. But even in the beginning, all is not as it seems: Nat's determination to do a good job as a defense lawyer for some of the most dangerous people in prison is offset by her recognition that her job holds conundrums and special challenges other kinds of lawyers don't face every day . . .Weighing the Truth is more than a legal thriller. It's a close inspection of morals, ethics, and values in the face of threats, gang involvement, attorney interactions, and a level of professional involvement that suddenly turns all too personal, unexpectedly placing Nat on the other side of the witness stand. . . . Fans of legal thrillers are in for a treat: where competing books are driven by legal cat-and-mouse courtroom encounters, Weighing the Truth instead provides a riveting focus on the motivations, psychology, and sometimes-conflicting special interests of the criminal defense lawyer, surveying how this can spill into personal lives and choices. . .
