To save his life, Maureen Gould must find the truth and free her client.

When Maureen Gould’s former client, Tony Paredes, known as “The Millionaire,” is accused of killing his abuser, she believes he’s innocent. But the authorities don’t care. They throw him into jail with violent criminals who almost beat him to death to extort money he doesn’t have.

As he recovers in the hospital, Maureen must find the evidence that will convince a jury to acquit him. If he goes back, the next beating will surely kill him.

The Millionaire is the sequel to Ippy-award winning Implied Consent. If you like powerful and authentic woman heroes, you’ll love the Maureen Gould.

Praise for The Millionaire

Book two in the Maureen Gould legal thriller series will keep you up into the wee smalls! The author, a lawyer herself, invests private attorney Gould, her prosecutor husband Jake, and daughter Quinn (an attorney wannabe) with such authenticity that I feel they are family. I even adore their kitty Germaine Greer.

The court scenes explode as Gould defends Tony Paredes, accused of murdering his former coach Oscar, who raped him at school. Oscar's wife contends Tony is guilty. Senior Prosecutor Vivian Thandie, who has never lost a case, agrees. Gould fights for justice, all the while contending with her own scars as an abuse victim.

I was so gripped as the taut story unspooled that I skipped meals and virtually ignored my husband (sorry, babe).

If you love legal thrillers that are smart, jet-paced, and ring with such truth that you can't put them down, THE MILLIONAIRE is for you. Highly recommended!

Praise for Implied Consent

"Powell has written a book that dares to be a legal thriller, family drama, and polemic. Remarkably, she succeeds at all three." -Booklife Reviews, Editor's Pick

Sharp-witted, big-hearted, and authentic, Implied Consent is a knock-out of a novel from a writer who knows both the letter of the law and the messiness of real life. CATRIONA McPHERSON, multi-award-winning author of IN PLACE OF FEAR.

Keenan Powell has penned her most memorable heroine to date. Powerful and authentic. Implied Consent is a must read! — Bruce Robert Coffin, award-winning author of the Detective Byron Mysteries
