Evidence of Guilt (Kali O'Brien legal suspense, #2)

When a local waitress and her five-year-old daughter are murdered, Wes Harding -- a former classmate of Kali's who had a reputation as the town's worst troublemaker -- becomes the prime suspect. Kali agrees to represent him, but is stunned when he refuses to help in his own defense, and won't explain why.

This is the second in the Kali O'Brien series.
