I've recently discovered Adam Peneberg's fiction.  For those that don't know, he's the reporter that broke the big Stephen Glass case.  Stephen Glass was another reporter who fabricated stories for several years until Adam dug into the details and exposed the scam.  He is a serious and well-respected journalist.But the guy can write fiction too! Trial and Terror is a great thriller/mystery, taking a hundred twists and turns through the life of Summer Neuwirth.  Summer is a Public Defender with issues.  Lots of issues.  Starting with getting her defendant off.  Then finding out that maybe that wasn't the best thing to do.  Her mother is missing, the prosecutor's been killed...  but yet, there's more.  Nothing is what it seems, even the hunky investigator assigned to work with her has secrets.  You'll have to read to see how they all play out, but trust me - they do all come together, in ways you never expected.All in all, a very good read.  I liked his other fiction book, Virtually True, even better, but this is great if you want a nice solid mystery/thriller to keep you guessing throughout.
