Least Wanted is the second Sam McRae mystery by Debbi Mack and proves that her first time at writing a well-oiled, compelling novel wasn't a fluke.  Mack knows how to write.  Her style, while unique, does remind me a bit of early Sue Grafton but with a sharper edge.Feisty Maryland lawyer Sam McRae is juggling several cases at one time, but when an embezzlement case in a video game development company seems to be connected to a murder case where her teenage client is the suspect, she starts asking questions that people don't want her to ask and that proves dangerous for Sam and her friends.Make no mistake - I am now a fan of Debbi Mack and the Sam McRae series.  The snappy dialogue, McRae's wry sense of humor, the intricate, solid plot that kept me turning the pages to reveal the connection between the two stories, and characters that I cared about right up to the end - this book has it all.  Do I recommend this book?  You betcha!
