    All rise in the courtroom for a cozy whodunit murder mystery, a case the media calls The Mic Drop. Controversial rap star Flex switches lawyers for courtroom war king Miles Turner, and The Jury Whisperer, to beat this all-or-nothing charge. 
    Judge Mintall presides in a whodunit range from Flex to premeditated rap rival Second Degree, from The Shenanigans to a political dilemma known as a Rebellious Shadow, the Clue Queen herself, and an unusual delivery service for couples breaking up! 
    With an extra bet, and a unique plea deal offer, can an equally matched prosecutor rhyme “guilty” with “he’ll be?” Or will this criminal defense firm, compared to ‘a street fight on a chessboard,’ once again prevail with an unorthodox lawyer’s audacity to manipulate manipulation itself?

    Seven women. Seven sins. One night of judgment. 
     
     
     
    Jennifer is forty-two and getting married for the second time, but that doesn't mean she can't go all out for her bachelorette weekend. She's taking her closest friends to the kind of place that has a years-long waiting list for a booking: three days of super-exclusive luxury accommodation on a remote Scottish island. So excited by the complicated means of transport required to get to the island, no one gives much thought to the implications for getting off again, especially if the weather should turn. But why would they? They're in for a time they will never forget. Just not for the reasons they imagine. 
     
     
     
    When one of the party mysteriously goes missing on the first night, Jennifer realizes she has made a terrible mistake: she has assembled this disparate bunch of women and the only thing they have in common is her . . . 
     
     
     
    Get ready for a locked room mystery like no other. One that asks: how well do you really know anybody, even your oldest acquaintance? And what if your best friend is really your worst enemy?
