About the Author, Rebecca Forster

I have always been enthralled by the law and its seeming inequities. Being married to a superior court judge ony feeds my curiosity about the process.This story was inspired when I heard a stepfather talking about rights and responsibilities. His honest feelings about his stepchildren were rewarded with legal action and villification. I wondered what would happen to a person who told the truth even though the truth seemed heartless. Is it better to make a promise and not live up to it or be upfront about our too-human limitations?"

Thank the stars, attorneys can speak whole thoughts all the way through. Everyone mostly comes off as t

Sequels not as good as the original? Well, here's a case that sometimes they can be just as good if not better. I found Silent Witness to be slow in the beginning, as the characters and puzzle pieces were introduced, but once the action started.... let's just say I had to cancel a date and she wasn't happy. The shocking sucker-punch ending is better than anything Mickey Spillane, the king of shocker endings, ever cooked up, and the ramifications of such a revelation are discussed with an no-hold
