From one of the premiere thriller writers of our day, in the same league as Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, Nelson Demille, and Michael Connolly, comes Richard North Patterson's engrossing Degree of Guilt.
TV journalist Mary Carelli admits that she shot and killed Mark Ransom, one of the world's most famous authors. She claims it was self-defense. She swears he tried to rape her. Now she has to prove it in a court of law-with her former lover acting as her attorney...

Because no one, not even the judge, is completely innocent. And guilt is a matter of degree...
