Lion & Lamb

There are two sides to every story. Husband and wife Archie and Francine Hughes are heroes in their hometown of Philadelphia. Archie is a football star, while Francine is a Grammy-winning singer. So everyone is in a state of shock when news breaks about the seemingly perfect couple. One spouse is murdered. The other is Suspect Number One. Even before the case hits the courtroom, it`s the hottest ticket in town. For the defence: Cooper Lamb, private investigator to the stars. For the prosecution: Veena Lion, an attorney so bright she`s got to wear shades. Between them, they know every secret in the Hughes household. Together, they prove how two wrongs can make a right. ______________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON `It`s no mystery why James Patterson is the world`s most popular thriller writer ...
