Here's the set-up:
For Sabre Orin Brown, life is good; she has it all...or would have, if
only she could solve the mysterious disappearance of her brother. The
search for her brother and her career as a Juvenile Court Attorney
collide when she defends a nine-year-old whose father will go to any
length to obtain custody.
Sabre finds herself immersed in a case
with too many unanswered questions. Her quest for the truth takes her
coast to coast and five years into the past. Confronted with mysterious
clues and strange occurrences, Sabre is threatened by someone wanting to
make her suffer the unbearable anguish of losing everything--including
her life.
As Sabre's passion to find the answers intensifies, she
discovers a twisted history of desperation, deceit, and revenge. And she
discovers how obscure and treacherous the truth can be.
One Reviewer Notes:
The Advocate is an excellent legal thriller about an intense, emotional subject. Attorney, Sabre Brown, works in Juvenile Court, protecting at-risk children. Sabre's latest case involves a scared nine-year old whose father wants custody. Sabre is gentle with the child, while she tries to earn her trust and discover her secret. At the same time, she struggles with the loss of her brother, who vanished some years ago. The more Sabre digs in and uncovers, the more at risk she, herself, becomes.
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.
