Legal thriller

I enjoyed this book, even through it covers a distressing subject and I don't mean murder. I grew up watching Perry Mason, so I love a good court room drama and this book certainly had it in spades. The mystery/court room drama was well written with lots of twists and surprises but I think it was the characters themselves that really had me hooked until the end. I really liked the way the District Attorney Clara Hitchens 'Hitch' needed newly released prisoner Nate Conner nearly as much as he needed her. The two worked well together and nearly got into just as much trouble. I hope there is more in this series to come.
Prosecuting attorney case isn't going well when her client keeps secrets from her and it looks like a rapist might be set free. Then Nate Conner's turns to her with claims of a corrupt DA and witnesses. He went to jail on the claims of a witness and he isn't the first case to suddenly get a new witness. Hitch know she will have to tread lightly as she doesn't know who in her office she can trust. For some reason she finds herself trusting Conner, even after he is arrest after the snitch who put him in jail is found dead. Can they work together to find the proof? Maybe if Conner who is looking for his missing sister can keep himself out of trouble. Otherwise he could take her down with him.
The narrator has a deep voice that takes some getting used too, especially when he is doing a female voice but I soon got use to and enjoyed the story.
