Incriminating Passion

Well, here we have ADA John Cohen showing up for his own story. He and Al Mylinski team up to find out the truth of the "alleged" murder. Andrea Kirkland has been married to Wingate Kirkland for 6 years. Now he was dead and she is the prime suspect. Even John is wondering if her story of murder is a cover-up. She admits to being a trophy wife, but is not interested in Wingate's millions. John has won another of his cases but he is exhausted and disallusioned and ready for a vacation that would last for the rest of his life. Then he meets a bedraggled Andrea who wants to report a murder and an attempt on her life. Someone in the police department has to be "dirty" because no one else knew she was coming into PD office. Someone with a big black truck ran her off the road into a water filled quarry. She is terrified. John calls in the P.I., Al Mylinski to track down the murdered victim. But already he is becoming too involved with Andrea. She needs protection and it looks like he is it. A trip to Chicago and back to the Wingate Estate just raises more questions. And Al is becoming more certain that Andrea is guilty. After another attempt on her life? Really Al. The mansion goes down in a blaze of glory. [or should I say fire]. Dex Harrington [from CLAIMING HIS FAMILY #702]is the head District Attorney and he takes John off of Andrea's case for misconduct. And hands the case over to another ADA, Kit Ashner who is determined to win this case. Excellent fast paced story - very hard to put down - fascinating twists! Also includes a malevalent sister, Joyce. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED [ALSO THE SET OF 3] --M #1 - 618 - HIS WITNESS, HER CHILD #2 - 702 - CLAIMING HIS FAMILY #3 - 723 - INCRIMINATING PASSION

The back of the book says:Someone was trying to kill Andrea Kirkland. And with good reason. For she was the only witness to a murder. A murder her mind refused to recall. A murder assistant D.A. John Cohen needed her to remember so that she could testify and put an end to the threats, the danger. Until then, John felt duty bound to protect her. Just until the murderer was found, he told himself. After all, she was his key witness. But once the passion exploded between them, the rugged D.A. came to realize that his key witness had come to mean so much more...This book had well developed characters and a lot of mystery/romance. They did not rush anything except for the ending which seemed a little unbelievable. Fortunately, I do not read these books for realism!
