BURDEN OF PROOF
Some people would kill for a fresh start.
Attorney Daniel Raine's law partner is leaving the firm. If Raine can't find a way to stay afloat, he'll practice law out of his car.
Then, wealthy socialite Abigail Willoughby arrives at his door, wanting to divorce her even richer husband.
Raine takes the case but gets forced into an alliance with realtor Rebecca Sommers, who has her own motives for wanting to get close to his client.
What seems like a straightforward case turns to chaos when Abigail threatens her husband, Jeremy, in front of dozens of witnesses. That same night, Jeremy is murdered.
Abigail swears she's innocent, and Raine believes her. Together with Sommers, he races to find out who really killed Jeremy and to save his client from serving a lifetime behind bars.
TRIAL BY JURY
Murder is an art form. And this one is a masterpiece.
When attorney Daniel Raine is invited to a gala at an art gallery, he views it as an opportunity to attract new clients.
And it works most unexpectedly when an artist is found dead in the restroom.
The police declare it a suicide, and the young woman's parents promptly sue the gallery owner for driving their daughter to take her own life. Raine is hired to defend the lawsuit and embarks on a mission to exonerate his client.
He soon becomes convinced that the young artist was murdered. But why? And by whom?
THE SURVIVAL RULE
A family on top of the world. With a long, long way to fall.
Daniel Raine is hired by Adam Harper, the son of Seattle's most prominent developer. Adam wants to seize control of the family company by declaring his father mentally unfit.
There's only one problem - the old man is very much in possession of his mental faculties, and Raine will lose the case. Ever the pragmatist, Raine decides to stick with it and rack up some billable hours.
But he finds himself in the middle of a deadly dispute as various members of this powerful family fight to gain control. They will stop at nothing to get what they want, including murder.
As Raine closes in on the final truth, he becomes a target in this twisted game.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Murder. Lies. Corruption. Just another day at the office.
A young man, Michael, dies while in custody at the county jail. The authorities claim it was a heart attack.
His mom thinks it was murder.
Daniel Raine agrees to take the case, suing the jail for wrongful death. But no one will discuss what happened in Michael's cell that fateful night.
Now Raine must unravel the mystery. Did someone order Michael's murder?
