The Pied Piper: A Maureen Gould Legal Thriller

A stolen dream leads to murder. For San Francisco attorney Maureen Gould, justice is best served warm. When her paralegal’s niece is swindled out of her trendy gourmet bakery, Maureen files suit to win it back. But the case goes haywire when two detectives show up at her office to announce the crook is dead and Maureen’s client is the prime suspect. As Maureen fights to exonerate her client, she uncovers a deep reaching conspiracy. Shrouded in secrets and lies, the value of life isn’t figured into the perpetrator’s bottom line. Meanwhile, a vitriolic podcaster sets his sights on bringing Maureen down. Her home is vandalized. An intruder breaks into her office to deliver an ominous threat. With each new attack, the violence draws closer to Maureen and her family. To win her client’s freedom, Maureen must fight against the surge of hatred while digging into the conspiracy that targeted her client. Can she win both battles? Praise for The Pied Piper I adore this series by attorney/author Keenan Powell, who writes gripping contemporary tales featuring Maureen Gould, a feminist attorney in private practice in San Fran. This time, Maureen represents her paralegal/office manager's niece, Esme Castillo, who has been swindled out of her business. The twists and turns made me read madly to the end. And I loved catching up with characters I've grown to care about: Maureen, her husband Jack, daughter Quinn, and kitty Germaine Greer. A must-read for legal thriller fans!Char Jones, Reviewer Read more
