I was looking through those back pages of Romantic Times and saw the list of upcoming releases for October. One caught my eye. It’s DEFENSELESS by Celeste Marsella. Here’s the blurb:

They’re overworked, underpaid, and unstoppable: four young women in a big-city attorney general’s office. But when best friends Marianna, Laurie, Shannon, and Beth find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, it’s not just their careers that are in danger—it’s their lives.

It’s after midnight when a young coed’s body is thrown from a car—right before their eyes. When their boss finds out that their presence at the scene might jeopardize the prosecution, Marianna takes the fall, exiled to a job inside an ivy-walled private college—where the murdered girl had been a student. Suddenly Marianna is in the eye of the storm alone as a vicious killer strikes again…and again. With no one to trust on either side of the law except themselves and a secretive ex-cop, Marianna, Laurie, Shannon, and Beth will have to join all their smarts, savvy, and loyalty to stop the killer from taking one of their own.…

A lawyer writing suspense centered on lawyers - love it! Marsella is a debut author…I think. This appears to be the first in a series. The second is called PERFECTLY CRIMINAL and comes out in April ‘09.

I’m plan on grabbing a copy of DEFENSELESS when it comes out. Anyone else?
