In Her Defense by Stephen Horn (2001)

What a wonderful 'twisty-turny' surprise of a plot!! I loved this book! It is Horn's first novel, but you'd swear that he's been writing for a lifetime. If you think you can foresee what's coming in this novel, I can tell you that you'd probably be wrong. It's a great novel, and it carries the suspense all the way through to the very end.
Frank O'Connell, A successful power-lawyer with his wife's father's firm, gives it all up (including his marriage) for a chance to make it on his own. His plans don't exactly work out, and just as he is about to hit bottom, enter a stunningly-beautiful woman (Ashley Bronson), the CIA, FBI, and foreign powers-that-be, and you have a volatile mix of an international murder mystery that falls at O'connell's feet. With a little help from his friends, he serves up a brilliant courtroom defense that is nothing more than a guess.
The characters and the plot are so well developed that you feel like it's your own life on the pages, but try as you might, every time you think you have it all figured out, a kink develops and you're forced to rethink it all. This happens over and over until the very end of the book.
A great novel! I highly recommend it
