A defense attorney strives for justice. Less than a year after drinking sidelined her career as a public defender in Anchorage, Alaska, Maeve Malloy is asked to defend an Aleut Indian accused of beating another homeless man to death. With no witnesses to the crime and a client who claims to have no knowledge of the night of the murder due to a blackout, the case is stacked against them. As Maeve works to maintain her sobriety, she and her investigator Tom Sinclair search for answers in homeless camps, roadside bars, and biker gang hangouts. When Maeve and Tom discover there may be a link to an unusually high number of deaths among the homeless community, the search is on for a killer hunting among the most vulnerable members of society.
A riveting legal procedural set in Anchorage's mean streets, Deadly Solution introduces my new favorite fictional female defense attorney, Maeve Malloy. - Hallie Ephron, NY Times bestselling author of You'll Never Know, Dear.
Keenan Powell's Deadly Solution is a brilliant debut. A tightly woven legal thriller about death, dishonor, and redemption. - Bruce Robert Coffin bestselling author of the Detective Byron Mysteries
Fans of Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak mysteries have a new hero to cheer for. In Maeve Molloy, Keenan Powell has created a nuanced, compassionate, wily, driven character that readers will take to like polar bears to snow. But there's more to her than a new hero-there's an entire cast of fascinating characters, a stunning Alaskan backdrop beautifully rendered, a complex story with one surprising turn after the other, excellent pacing, and an engaging prose style. All in all, a marvelous debut. I'm looking for more. -David Corbett, award-winning author of The Mercy of the Night
When a homeless man is found beaten to death in an Anchorage park, cops and prosecutors dismiss him as just another 'drunksicle' and charge his best buddy with the crime. But when pit-bull attorney Maeve Malloy and her investigator Tom Sinclair get the case, they soon realize a serial killer's at work in the homeless haunts of Alaska's biggest city. Keenan Powell's story of how the pair uncover the real killers and prove it to jury and prosecutors is both a fascinating investigative procedural and a riveting series of courtroom showdowns, with the outcome in doubt right up through the final chapter. At the same time, it's a compelling portrait of one woman's struggle with her personal demons. - Stan Jones, author of the Nathan Active series
