Anne Laughlin

The Acquittal Anne Laughlin

Ex-Chicago cop and new PI Josie Harper has been hired by an outside group to clear the name of publisher Lauren Wade, recently acquitted of the murder of her lover. That means finding the real killer, a task made more difficult by Lauren?s unwillingness to cooperate and a large family problem—Lauren?s parents have been kidnapped for a ransom she can no longer pay. Josie has a big challenge of her own: how to redeem herself after losing her job as a detective. When Josie and Lauren join forces to rescue the parents, they discover they make a great team, in more ways than one.

Will Josie?s troubled past come back to haunt her? And who did kill Lauren?s lover?
