In the biggest case of her career, attorney Kate Sullivan is tapped as lead counsel to take on Mason Pharmaceutical because of a corporate cover-up related to its newest drug. After a whistleblower dies, Kate knows the stakes are much higher than her other lawsuits.
Former Army Ranger turned private investigator Landon James is still haunted by mistakes made while serving overseas. Trying to forget the past, he is hired by Kate to look into the whistleblower's allegation and soon suspects that the company may be engaging in a dangerous game for profit. He also soon finds himself falling for this passionate and earnest young lawyer.
Determined not to make the same mistakes, he's intent on keeping Kate safe, but as the case deepens, it appears someone is willing to risk everything-even murder-to keep the case from going to trial.
Deadly Proof by Rachel Dylan is a legal thriller and is the first novel in her new Atlanta Justice series. The storyline is fairly fast-paced and interesting, but somewhat predictable at times. The plot includes instances of mystery, suspense, legal drama, and some romance. The characters are somewhat cliche and lack development at times, but as a whole work well together. I had trouble getting engaged in this novel, but I liked the overall plot and idea of the story, it just lacked depth and good character development. The thoughts and feelings of the characters were too obvious at times and did not allow the reader to figure things out on their own. For those who like legal thrillers, however, it would be an interesting read. It was just not my favorite one that I have read recently.
I received this novel from Litfuse Publicity Group in exchange for an honest review.
