Size: 21 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-14-103507-9 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Detective and mystery stories English literature Women lawyers - Fiction Class number: 823.914 Abstract: Venetia Aldridge QC is a distinguished barrister. When she agrees to defend Garry Ashe, accused of the brutal murder of his aunt, it is one more opportunity to triumph in her career as a criminal lawyer. But Regina v Ashe initiates events both frightening and unpredictable ...Just four weeks later, Miss Aldridge is found dead. Commander Adam Dalgliesh, called in to investigate, finds motives for murder among the clients Venetia has defended, her professional colleagues, her family - even her lover. As Dalgliesh narrows the field of suspects, a second brutal murder draws them into greater complexities of intrigue and evil. Review: Guilt or innocence is of no concern to a defending council, least of all to unemotional Venetia Aldricht QC, when another brilliant forensic display secures her client an acquittal for murder at the Old Bailey. But it is a different kettle of fish when the same sinisterly attractive young psychopath involves himself with her gauche love-starved daughter. When the iron-lady QC is then stabbed in locked Chambers, with grotesque trimmings to the corpse added posthumously by another hand, Commander Adam Dalgleish and his team, meticulously sifting the human sediment of the past for a motive, are suddenly wrong-footed when the prime suspect is murdered. But the clever killer has made one significant mistake - the final act in an East Anglian reedbed and the wry summation prove vengeance is a two-edged sword. Urgent, intricate, baffling, to rank with James's very best. Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=16874

Final Jeopardy / Linda Fairstein

No review available on this record. Title : Final Jeopardy : a novel Material Type: printed text Authors: Linda Fairstein, Author Publisher: New York : Pocket Books Publication Date: 1997 Pagination: 312 p. Size: 19 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-7434-6732-2 Price: 5 $ Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Fiction Public prosecutors Women lawyers - Fiction Class number: 813.54 Abstract: The crusading longtime chief of Manhattan's Sex Crimes Prosecutions Unit brings to her exciting first novel the same passion and insights into the criminal and crime-busting minds that marked her memoir, Sexual Violence (1994). Fairstein also brings herself to the novel-or at least an alter ego of a narrator, Alexandra Cooper, who's also a middle-aged blonde heading the borough's prosecution of sex offenders. Cooper's typical day of counseling victims and working with the NYPD on sex crimes would probably keep readers fascinated, but her latest problem-the shooting murder of glamorous movie star Isabella Lascar at Cooper's getaway home on Martha's Vineyard pitches the plot at high intensity right away. Though Cooper is warned by the DA not to play cop, she and homicide detective Mike Chapman, who's assigned to bodyguard her, work together unofficially to solve the crime, carrying on a sort of anti-romance all the while. Fairstein isn't a gifted stylist-her dialogue is as wooden as a judge's gavel and the details of Cooper's professional and personal lives drive the story forward with more vigor than the murder investigation does. Some readers will be disappointed, too, that Cooper, like any victim, has to be rescued in the end by her fiercely protective and ingenious friends on the NYPD. But then this heroine's greatest appeal lies in the warmth of her friendships, the humanness of her mistakes and her unswerving devotion to protecting the next female from harm. As a woman with grave responsibilities who still puts her pantyhose on one leg at a time, she makes a memorable debut. Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=15168

Size: 20 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-99943-334-3-1 Price: 900 lek Languages : Albanian (sqi) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Attorney and client Brothers Child witnesses – Fiction Memphis (Tenn.) - Fiction New Orleans (La.) - Fiction Organized crime Suicide victims - Fiction Women lawyers - Fiction Class number: 813.54 Abstract: "Marku gjendet i mbërthyer në mes të një sistemi ligjor të çmendur dhe një vrasësi mafioz, që vepron i dëshpëruar për të mbuluar krimin e tij. E vetmja aleate e tij është një grua e quajtur Regi Lov që kishte vetëm katër vjet punë si avokate. Prokurorët janë të gatshëm të thyejnë çdo rregull për ta bërë Markun të flasë. Asgjë nuk do ta ndalonte mafien për t'ia mbyllur gojën. Dhe Regi do të bëjë gjithçka për të mbrojtur klientin e saj, madje duke vënë në lojë edhe jetën e të dyve." "Na detyron të kridhemi në mendime... I magjishëm... Xhon Grisham vazhdon të na tundojë me çdo krijim të tij të ri. Romani i tij i fundit, "Klienti", ka një ndërthurje të mençur, të tërheq me zgjuarsi në brendi dhe është mjaft prekës. Ai na paraqet një hero të ndryshëm e tërheqës: një djalë të vogël njëmbëdhjetëvjeçar. Mark Suei është i paharrueshëm... Çdo gjë tingëllon kaq e vërtetë, që nga personazhet kryesore deri tek ata më dytësorë skalitur plot ngjyrime e në sfondin e një sistemi të korruptuar drejtësie."...
