Here’s the Set-Up for Teresa Burrell’s The Advocate, just $3.99 on Kindle:
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.
From the reviewers:
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. – Hamlet
This is an excellent story line with plenty of suspense and takes you deep inside the inner workings of the juvenile system. Teresa Burrell writes an excellent, authentic thriller. – Jenny Hilborne
