If you are looking to jump right in to not just a fantastic novel but also have a front row seat for the start of a new book series, Deadly Proof is one you'll want to read! Deadly Proof is book one in the 'Atlanta Justice' series, and is a fast-paced weaving of murder mystery & legal thriller. The heroine is Kate Sullivan, a young and brilliant attorney who is hoping to become the Lead Counsel in case against a large pharmaceutical company. If selected, Kate will have to go up against her good friend and law school classmate Ethan Black. It doesn't take long for Kate to find herself in the midst of something bigger than she anticipated, as someone from the pharmaceutical company reaches out to her and shares that things within MPC (the pharmaceutical company) are deeper and darker than the lawsuit suggests. Kate wants to make sure her source is credible--she hires Landon James, a private investigator, to check out the source as well as the source's information.

The novel begins to take a more dangerous turn, and soon Kate finds that she needs Landon not just as an investigator, but as her personal body guard. The main storyline centers around Kate & Landon, but the other characters are very well developed. The novel is detailed, suspenseful, fast-paced, and doesn't leave any loose ends. I enjoyed the novel, and cannot wait for the second book!

Q & A with Rachel Dylan

The Atlanta Justice series is centered around strong, female lawyers who take on high-stakes cases. What made you want to write their stories?I’d have to say it’s personal! Having been an attorney for eleven years now, I love being able to pour parts of myself into the books. My everyday life as a lawyer isn’t that exciting and is definitely not as dangerous! But I’m able to draw on what I’ve lived through to bring life and authenticity to these characters.

What type of research did you do for Deadly Proof?One of the great things about writing books related to my career is that I know lawyers who practice all different types of law. Deadly Proof focuses on Kate Sullivan, who is a plaintiff’s attorney taa Rafflecopter giveaway king on a big pharmaceutical company. I don’t do this specific type of plaintiff’s work, but I know lawyers who do, and I was able to talk with them. Also, I was able to relate to my characters on the defense side because I’ve done that work for years. It was really fun to write the perspectives of characters on both sides of the case.

Is there a reason you chose Atlanta for this series?Yes! I’m from Georgia and lived in Atlanta, practicing law at a large law firm, for eight years. I wanted to pick a setting I was intimately familiar with to give readers an authentic Atlanta experience—sweet tea and all.

Where do you think Kate’s passion for her work comes from?Kate truly believes that her life’s work is to help those who have been wronged. I believe a lot of her passion stems from her strong faith that has developed over the years. She’s not a lawyer to make big bucks but to change people’s lives for the better.

What is the next book in the Atlanta Justice series about?Book two is about Kate’s friend Sophie Dawson, who we meet in Deadly Proof. Sophie is an Atlanta prosecutor. This story is exciting because it involves a completely different type of legal case than Deadly Proof. But I promise things get just as dangerous!
