Description
Los Angeles D.A. Rachel Knight is a tenacious, wise-cracking, and fiercely intelligent prosecutor in the city's most elite division. When her colleague, Jake, is found dead at a grisly crime scene, Rachel is shaken to the core. She must take over his toughest case: the assault of a young woman from a prominent family.
But she can't stop herself from digging deeper into Jake's death, a decision that exposes a world of power and violence and will have her risking her reputation — and her life — to find the truth.
With her tremendous expertise in the nuances of L.A. courts and crime, and with a vibrant ensemble cast of characters, Marcia Clark combines intimate detail, riotous humor, and visceral action in a debut thriller that marks the launch of a major new figure on the crime-writing scene.

        Starred review from January 31, 2011
        Clark, the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, makes a triumphant fiction debut that catapults her to the same level as Linda Fairstein, her fellow assistant DA turned legal thriller novelist. Clark's alter ego, L.A. deputy DA Rachel Knight, suffers a shocking loss when a close colleague is suspected of committing a murder-suicide. Unable to reconcile her view of the accused with the official investigation, Knight persists in digging on her own, even though her office has been recused from the case. The workaholic also has her hands full with a case she inherited from the dead prosecutor—the rape of a 15-year-old girl, Susan Densmore, whose doctor father, a prominent financial backer of Knight's boss, is convinced that he knows who the assailant is. Clark (Without a Doubt with Teresa Carpenter) deftly handles the multiple plot lines. Readers will want to see a lot more of Knight, who combines strength of character and compassion with all-too-human foibles.

        Starred review from March 15, 2011

        A corker of a debut novel in which a brainy, plucky female prosecutor refuses to rush to judgment.

        A 15-year-old girl is raped. The Latino boy she'd been tutoring is the sole suspect. She's rich, the daughter of Frank Densmore, a prominent member of the medical profession. He's poor, a prominent member of the Sylmar Sevens, an L.A. street gang. Actually, Luis Revelo isn't all that poor thanks to modest but steady profits from various sorts of petty larceny. Still, it's the street-gang part that matters. Since he happened to be in the vicinity at the time of the crime, and since he is who he is, it's clear—to most of the cop brass, as well as to arrogant, self-important Dr. Densmore—that Luis is their perp. ADA Rachel Knight begs to differ—as does her close friend LAPD Detective Bailey Keller. Savvy women that they are, both see go-slow signs. To begin with, Susan, the victim, simply won't identify Luis as her molester. It was dark, she was terrified, but it isn't Luis, she insists, who put the pillow over her head. The fact that Dr. Densmore insists that it is does little to persuade since neither Rachel nor Bailey react positively to arrogance and self-importance. Meanwhile, closer to home, there's an equally bedeviling case, the murder of a friend and associate. Here, too—because they're forced to unsettle certain folks in high places—Rachel and Bailey, careers on the line, proceed with caution.

        That the novel is marked by authenticity is no surprise given Clark's credentials—she was, after all, lead prosecutor in the headline-grabbing O.J. Simpson trial—but what may surprise some readers is the quality of the writing, plus the considerable charm of Rachel and her buddies.

        She may be one tough D.A., but even Rachel Knight is shaken when colleague Jake is killed in an awful fashion and she must then take over a particularly thorny case involving the assault of a young woman from a high-profile family. Things get even tougher when she decides to look into Jake's death. Clark of all people should know exactly how such situations feel. Pony up for this debut thriller from the debut thriller imprint Mulholland.

        Starred review from February 15, 2011
        Dont be dissuaded by the celebrity-author factor: Clark, lead prosecutor in the O. J. Simpson trial, pairs her knowledge of the L.A. judicial scene with a surprising flair for fiction in a remarkably accomplished debut novel. L.A. prosecutor Rachel Knight is stunned when her office soul-mate, Jake Pahlmeyer, is found shot to death in a sleazy motel along with a 17-year-old boy, raising ugly suspicions that she doesnt want to acknowledge. Given Jakes top case to workthe rape of the teenage daughter of one of the DAs prominent contributorsRachel is warned by her boss to leave her colleagues death alone. But with her big heart and hard head, she uses her network of sources and risks career and safety to pursue both cases, teaming up with Detective Bailey Keller and following leads to Hispanic gangs and porno rings in the seamiest parts of the city. Clark offers a real page-turner here, with smart, fast-moving prose; a skillfully constructed plot; and a protagonist well worth knowing. Rachel, whose past is only hinted at, is a well-rounded character whos as tough with suspects as she is sensitive with young victims. A top-notch legal thriller that will leave readers wanting more. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Heres that rare example of a celebrity thriller author justifying a major promotion campaign by delivering a genuinely high-quality novel.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)

        February 15, 2011

        Clark is the former Los Angeles district attorney who cowrote Without a Doubt, a best-selling nonfiction account of the O.J. Simpson trial that she prosecuted. Her fiction debut introduces Rachel Knight, a prosecutor in the Special Trials section of the L.A. DA's office. Knight is shocked to discover that one of the victims in a seedy motel slaying is her colleague Jake Pahlmeyer. When the FBI treats the crime as a murder-suicide and casts Jake in the role of murderer, Rachel is compelled to investigate further. At the same time, she is assigned one of Jake's unfinished cases involving the rape of the daughter of one of the DA's most generous supporters. Both investigations have the potential to end her career and possibly her life. VERDICT Rachel Knight is a heroine along the lines of V.I. Warshawski and Kinsey Millhone. Employing a quick and humorous writing style, not to mention surprising plot twists, Clark most likely has another best seller on her hands.
