From the NY Times bestselling author Debbi Mack:Can Sam defend two clients of murder before becoming the next victim?Stephanie Ann "Sam" McRae's life as a Maryland lawyer takes a chaotic turn when two clients are accused of murder. A poor, black girl is accused of killing her mother. A young man suspected of embezzlement is accused of murdering his boss. The cases collide in a bizarre way involving girl gangs and computer pornography.

Sam ventures into the heart of DC's suburban ghettos to find answers. A maniacal killer who'll do anything to hide them stalks her. After a nearly disastrous confrontation, Sam must do business on the run. As the body count grows, Sam races to learn the truth and clear her clients before she becomes the next victim.

REVIEWS AND ENDORSEMENTS"LEAST WANTED is a brave, heartbreaking, and thrilling book with a complex plot that takes attorney Sam McRae on a dizzying tour of several circles of urban hell, against a backdrop of white-collar crime. I loved it, and I admire Mack for writing it without flinching or suggesting easy answers. It's a sequel that outdoes IDENTITY CRISIS and holds the promise of a great series." -- Timothy Hallinan, author of THE QUEEN OF PATPONG and CRASHED"In LEAST WANTED, Debbi Mack serves up a solid mystery plot wired together with high octane suspense. Washington, DC attorney Sam McRae is smart, tough and dedicated, but her latest cases in LEAST WANTED push her to her limits. Defending two clients accused of murder, she finds herself dealing with girl gangs, pornography and crazed killers. For mystery and suspense, it’s Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan in Baltimore and Robert B. Parker’s Spenser in Boston, but Sam McRae is the woman to have at your back in Washington."-- Austin S. Camacho, author of the Hannibal Jones mystery series"LEAST WANTED hooks you from the start and never lets go. A fascinating and absorbing mystery."-- Simon Wood, author of SAVING GRACE

For information contact Debbi Mack, h***:://www.debbimack.com ––––––––   DEDICATION For Joyce and Andrew Mack, my parents, who instilled a love of reading and stories in me early on and always encouraged me to pursue my dreams. And for Rick Iacangelo, my husband, who’s believed in me all along and been an endless source of support and inspiration during the toughest of times. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My writing career has been an adventure, in every possible sense of the word. I feel incredibly grateful to have been helped by many people along the way. My current writers’ group has contributed so much, in terms of suggestions, constructive criticism and overall support, that I want to thank all the members (past and present), including Janet Benrey, Ray Flynt, Sasscer Hill, Mary Ellen Hughes, Trish Marshall, Sherriell Mattingley, Bonnie Settle, Thomas Sprenkle, Marcia Talley, and Lyn Taylor. You all have been an invaluable aid to my growth as a writer. I also owe a great debt of gratitude to Pat Altner, Jack Bludis, Carla Buckley, Carolyn Males, Ellen Rawlings, Louise Titchener, and other writers and friends who provided helpful suggestions and encouragement along the way. I’d like to thank Paul Lenharr, the (now retired) intake counselor at the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney's Office for his helpful information about girl gangs and juvenile crime in the county. I’d also like to thank Jennifer Ferrara, a public high school guidance counselor, who educated me about release requirements for school disciplinary records. In addition, my thanks go to Rick Maltz, a certified fraud examiner, who kept me straight on the embezzlement and auditing details. Any errors or omissions on these subjects are my own. My endless thanks to Peter Ratcliffe for doing an exemplary job on the cover art, along with Beth Rubin for her awesome editing and my sister, Nancy, for her thoughtful (and eagle-eyed) critique. A special shout out goes to my friends in the Chesapeake Chapter of Sisters in Crime, as well as to Laurie Cullen, for copyediting and helping this techno-i***t with the formatting. * * * * *
