Author Teresa Burrell brings real-world experience as a lawyer and pro bono advocate for children and families without the means to pay a lawyer to this mystery that begins with two kids in need and leads to murder.
Here's the set-up for The Advocate, the first in The Advocate Series by Teresa Burrell:
Suffering from the mysterious disappearance of her brother five years before, Sabre Brown has handled nearly every case imaginable as a children’s legal advocate. That is, until her partner gives her the easiest case on the roster—advocating for two children taken from their parents after a potentially abusive argument.
Sabre’s gut tells her there’s more amiss than meets the eye, and her gut is rarely wrong. As she digs into the history of this broken family, Sabre discovers a web of deceit, corruption, and murder that spans the continent.
Sabre Brown is back in the thick of it once more in The Advocate's Betrayal, now available in the Kindle Store. Don't miss it.
From the Review for The Advocate:
The author's experience as a juvenile attorney is evident in the gritty realism of this mystery/legal thriller. This is the first book in the Advocate series and has been re-released by her new publisher. The protagonist, Sabre Orin Brown, is a juvenile defense attorney working hard for her clients welfare, while trying to solve a grizzly crime. If you want a book written by an attorney with real first hand knowledge of the judicial system, then pick up this book.
