Blood Relations Edward Cohen

A young New Orleans lawyer discovers that his father is having an affair with a beautiful attorney in their firm. To save his parents' marriage, he determines to seduce her away. When she is murdered, he must defend his father at trial. A masterfully written and complex legal thriller with a bombshell surprise ending:

On a steamy late night in New Orleans, young criminal attorney Kyle Cameron stands in the bedroom of the lovely Laura Niles, only his second time there. He stares at her dead body, then hurries to wipe off his fingerprints.

The next morning the firm lawyers pick up Kyle for their annual retreat and drive to Laura's house, where he knows that her body will be discovered and that he must feign surprise. Kyle's father, Jake, won't meet his son's eyes.

As the police ready themselves to interrogate them, Jake clamps his hand hard on his son's shoulder.

"Everything was business, understand?"

Kyle, unable to form words, can only nod.

"I'm your lawyer, got it? And you're mine."
