Rule number one: hands off the witness
As a newbie public defender, Mark Eliades is stuck defending DUIs. But when his latest client gets charged with felony arson, the result is a career-making case he has to win. The last thing he needs is to fall for his key witness. Any hint of impropriety and his credibility will be shot, along with Mark’s case. But the more time Mark spends with the jaded private investigator, the more the rules began to blur.
Tired of endless nights chasing people who don’t want to be found, private investigator Lukas Nystrom needs a change—and a guaranteed paycheck. When a high-profile contract with the state falls in his lap, he can’t screw it up. Even if it means ignoring his growing desire for the hotshot attorney who hired him.
Convinced their client is innocent, Mark and Lukas team up to investigate the crime. With the trial looming and every lead gone cold, they work relentlessly to uncover the truth. But keeping things professional while searching for evidence they need might just make this the hardest case they’ve ever taken on.

Wasn't quite sure I wanted to read this book, but thought I'd give it a go. It started quite slow and wasn't sure if I'll drop it or not, but then it really gripped me and all I wanted to do was keep on reading.
There wasn't much description, especially in the first few chapters, so the author made an amazing job at shaping the characters, showing who they are.
The murder plot was also interesting and I liked the court bits too. But mostly I liked how level headed the characters were, and the lack of unnecessary drama.
Well, the start and the ending were eeeh for me (I'm sure other readers would absolutely love it), but the middle (which is basically the main plot of the book) was great.
First book I'm reading from this author, and I definitely want to check what else is out there.
