The main character is up for a partnership in her law firm and she feels as though someone within the firm is trying to stop her from getting the promotion.

Legal Tender is a Legal Thriller, yes. It's one of these
wonderful reading that keep the reading on the edge of

I begun to love this genre, and I have to say, the
amazing author Lisa Scottoline is much, much better than
the most famous one, John Grisham. From beginning to end.
