This is a good short story by OJ Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark. I have read her two novels featuring LA Special Trials Unit prosecutor Rachael Knight and enjoyed the sophisticated lady character's toughness and intelligence. in this story, Rachael has only circumstantial evidence against a smarmy philandering perp accused of murdering his wealthy reformed jet-setter wife. Working with her friend Bailey, the only female robbery/homicide detective in the LAPD, Rachael starts the trial feeling low on convincing evidence. Unlike Clark's novels where the reader gets a real feel for the life and motivations of the characters, this is a fast fun slice of prosecutor life. it is worth the small price of the short story.
