Seeing is Deceiving: a Gail Brevard Mystery Mary Wickizer Burgess

When an heiress is found murdered, corporate attorney Gail Brevard is assigned the case, despite her lack of experience in trying criminal matters. The suspect, 19-year-old Damon Powell, was found in front of the murdered girl's house, with the murder weapon--which belonged to his father--on the lawn nearby. He claims to have spent most of the night with another woman. The situation seems impossible: everyone--including the judge--wants to convict Damon Powell. Gail believes her defendant to be innocent--but can she prove it? A riveting courtroom drama, first in a series.
