The Inheritance

Liz Mathews

Prepare to dive into the captivating world of Kate Muldoon, the renowned "Defense Counsel to the Stars" who legal prowess knows no bounds. In Liz Mathews' first book in the Kate Muldoon series, Kate Muldoon: For the Defense, follow the gripping tale of a brilliant attorney representing high-profile clients who have lost touch with the reality that the rule of law applies to everyone, regardless of their fame or fortune.

Kate's clientele spans the realm of actors, signers, athletes and top executives from corporate giants. Her intelligence, shrewdness and unwavering determination have propelled her to incredible success in her professional life. However, behind closed doors, Kate's personal life is a different story altogether.

With her workload pushed to the limits, Kate finds herself defending Frank Hanson, a once-celebrated actor whose reputation as a misogynistic racist precedes him. Frank faces a slew of serious charges, including attempted murder. Meanwhile, Julie Moon, a rising star in the entertainment industry, relies on Kate's legal expertise to navigate charges of public cocaine possession and use. Adding, to her plate, Kate represents Phil Bentley, Jr., the teenage son of her most significant corporate client, who stands accused of drug distribution among his privileged peers at their prestigious high school. As Kate's workload reaches overwhelming levels, she deals with yet another departing associate and her soon-to-be-ex husband's challenge to their post-nuptial agreement stemming from his repeated infidelity.

Amidst the chaos, Kate finds solace and companionship in Bill Davis, her widowed neighbor and former professional quarterback. They embark on a passionate affair, briefly kindling a sense of personal happiness in Kate's life.

Join Kate in a riveting journey through the intricacies of high-profile defense cases, personal sacrifices and the pursuit of true happiness woven through her relentless pursuit of justice.
