Killer Ambition by Marcia Clark

Killer Ambition is the third novel in Clark’s series featuring Los Angeles Special Trials prosecutor Rachel Knight and her buddy Detective Bailey Keller.

In a story that Marcia Clark (yes, that Marcia Clark) is uniquely qualified to tell, the daughter of a billionaire Hollywood director is found murdered in what appears to be a botched kidnapping. When the chief suspect is a powerful Hollywood insider, the case becomes prime time news. Under intense pressure from the Hollywood establishment, the media, and her bosses, justice and Knight’s career are both on the line.

A readable courtroom drama with a likable Knight.
