It has been nineteen years since I read anything by Portland author Phillip Margolin. I remember liking them when I read them. So I decided to give his newest book a test drive.
The story is like a nautilus shell, it centers around attorney Robin Lockwood and there are several chambers but they all come together to form a good story. Lockwood a former MMA fighter is defending a rape victim, who is suing a rich frat boy jock in a civil suit while also defending a fellow lawyer accused of murder. Lockwood and her assistant/boyfriend are investigating these cases and cases that are seemingly tied together with theirs.
A good story that gets the locale correct.
10/10
