Publisher Description
Several years have passed since we last saw Rachel Gold. The stunning and savvy attorney was then engaged to be married. Since that time she has become a mother and a much-grieving widow, and now she is embroiled in a lost cause—the Frankenstein case—representing a blue-collar neighborhood fighting a powerful developer intent on bulldozing their homes to erect a swanky gated community. Who's pushing her here? Her mother, of course.
Rachel's strategy will be based on a wild card: the judge on the case—a judge so wacky that he's known to the Saint Louis bar as the Flinch Factor, as in the spawn of Judge Judy and Pee-wee Herman.
Rachel has also gained a new client: Susannah, sister of Nick Moran, heartthrob of every woman whose kitchen he remodeled. Nick has been murdered, found slumped on the front seat of his pickup along an isolated lane known to the vice squad as Gay Way, his pants unzipped, a coil of rubber tubing on the seat, an empty syringe on the floor. His female groupies are stunned, to say the least—Nick gay? No way. Susannah seeks out Rachel, convinced that her brother wasn't gay or a druggie and that his death was not an accident.
Although Susannah seems the classic blindly adoring younger sister, a skeptical Rachel agrees to check it out. To her surprise, she turns up facts and witnesses suggesting that maybe, just maybe, Nick's death was staged to look like an overdose during sex. Things then rapidly grow darker in what increasingly becomes a real Frankenstein of a case.

Quotes
-
“The Rachel Gold series is intelligent and fun.”
— Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author -
“The Flinch Factor is another welcome addition to the wonderful Rachel Gold series, a clever engrossing legal thriller punctuated by sharp humor and many unexpected developments.”
— Scott Turow, #1 New York Times bestselling author -
“Both tough-minded and kind, Rachel Gold struggles with two difficult cases in Kahn’s enjoyable eighth mystery featuring the St. Louis attorney…A trial lawyer himself, Kahn handles the legal details briskly. Even better, as the investigations begin to overlap, Rachel’s tense skirmishes with antagonists are balanced with warm interactions with her family and friends—and zany encounters with notoriously eccentric judge Howard Flinch.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“It’s all worth it to hear Judge Flinch tell a witness who’s taking the Fifth: ‘You’re plenty incriminated already.’”
— Kirkus Reviews

About Michael A. Kahn
Michael A. Kahn, a graduate of Amherst College
and Harvard Law School, is a trial lawyer and award-winning author. He wrote
his first novel on a challenge from his wife Margi, who got tired of listening
to the same answer whenever she asked him about a book he was reading. “Not
bad,” he would say, “but I could write a better book than that.” “Then write
one,” she finally said, “or please shut up.” So he shut up, and then he wrote
one. He has written short stories, several Rachel Gold novels, and another
novel, The Mourning Sexton, under the
pen name Michael Baron. In addition to his work as a lawyer, he is an adjunct
professor of law at Washington University in Saint Louis. Married to his high
school sweetheart, he is the father of five and the grandfather of, so far, four.
