Conflict of Interest — Clair M. Poulson

Law student Rob Sterling is an innocent man trapped in a nightmare-accused of murder. The court has appointed one of the state's most successful criminal lawyers to represent him. Rob should feel fortunate.

Ambitious and arrogant, defense attorney Dan Smathers will do whatever it takes to protect his own interests, even if it means sentencing an unsuspecting Rob to prison-or even death. But he hasn't taken into account the unwavering loyalty of Rob's best friend, Raul, or the personal integrity of Haley Gordon, the rising-star prosecutor assigned to the case.

An intricate tale in which deceit and truth collide, Conflict of Interest takes the reader on a breathtaking ride, complete with twists and turns, which proves that with determination and courage, truth can prevail.
