  When prominent defense attorney Marcus Halloway is found murdered in his study, the irony isn’t lost on anyone—he made his career saving guilty men with airtight alibis. But now, every one of his former clients is a suspect, and each of them swears they were nowhere near him the night he died. 
  Detective Clara Jennings is called to the case, but the deeper she digs, the murkier it becomes. Marcus kept secrets: hidden files, hushed meetings, and an alibi of his own that doesn’t quite add up. With enemies on both sides of the law, the question isn’t who wanted him dead—it’s who got to him first. 
  As time runs out and the web of lies grows tighter, Clara must untangle a puzzle where every suspect has a story, every story has a flaw, and the truth might be the deadliest alibi of all. 
  The Last Alibi is a taut, twist-filled murder mystery where justice and deception are two sides of the same coin.

  Luring the potential pedophiles online with her youthful look, she meets and drugs them, taking their valuables and selling them on the Los Angeles black market.

Using every trick she has learned on the mean streets she goes after him. At the same time she is forced to dredge up a host of dark, long-buried secrets of her own.

  When banners proclaiming the innocence of James Stewart spring up at the gravesite of his famous namesake—a clan leader who was falsely accused of murder and hanged almost three hundred years ago in a miscarriage of justice that still resonates—investigative reporter Rebecca Connolly smells a story. 
   
   
    
  The publicity stunt was clearly meant to draw attention, but what's behind it and why now? The young Stewart has been in prison for ten years for the brutal murder of his lover, lawyer and politician Murdo Maxwell, in his home in Appin, near the site of the Stewart monument. Rebecca soon discovers that, prior to his murder, Maxwell believed he was being followed, and his phones were tapped. What would justify a government phone tap against a public figure? And why is a Glasgow crime boss so interested? As Rebecca keeps digging, she finds herself in the sights of Inverness crime matriarch Mo Burke, who wants payback for the damage caused to her family in a previous case. 
   
   
    
  Set against the stunning backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, A Rattle of Bones is a tale of injustice and mystery, and the enduring echo of the past in the present.
