Fatal February
All she wanted was a clean car, but Mary Magruder Katz is about to get mixed up in some dirty business. For half-Jewish, half- Southern Baptist Miami criminal defense attorney, Mary Magruder Katz, life is about to get completely complicated. When her car is rear-ended during a routine trip to the car wash, Mary's life starts to spin out of control. Carlos Martin, the other car's driver isn't just a distracted driver; he's distracting. Carlos is charming, handsome, and mysterious. This fender bender turns out to be an unlikely shot from Cupid's bow. Before she knows what's hit her, Mary breaks off her engagement, jumps into a sizzling romance with Carlos, gets fired from the highbrow law firm of her former fiancé starts her own practice, and lands her first client. But Lillian isn't just any client; she's accused of stabbing her husband to death in what has become the Miami society murder of the year and the talk of the town. Now it's up to Mary to prove Lillian's innocence. But first Mary will have to prove her own innocence by defending an ethics claim brought by her former fiancé. While investigating Lillian's alleged crime of passion and trying to clear her own name, Mary finds that this case, like all matters of the heart, is anything but black and white. And Mary has clearly stumbled onto something that has someone seeing red. February may be the shortest month of the year, but Mary's got some long days (and nights) ahead. She only wanted a clean car, but can Mary emerge with a clean conscience?
