“Jeanne Winer has done it again. An entertaining story with immense heart, Her Kind of Case takes the jaded reader by surprise. The lawyer who cares, and a client who initially doesn’t, connects with the humanity in us all.”

—Stephanie Kane, best-selling author of Extreme Indifference and Seeds of Doubt

 

Her Kind of Case

Jeanne’s latest book is legal drama that centers on Lee Isaacs, a female criminal defense attorney on the cusp of turning 60. Out of curiosity, determination, and desire for a big, even impossible, professional challenge, Lee chooses to take on a tough murder case in which a largely uncooperative young man is accused of helping kill a gay gang member. This beautifully written novel, which earned three starred reviews from Kirkus, Library Journal, and Booklist, is built around not only a gradually resolving mystery, but by fully fleshed-out characters, particularly the strong-willed and sharp-witted Lee.

The Furthest City Light

Winer’s first novel follows her protagonist on a journey that takes her from a jail cell in Boulder, Colorado to the dangerous Nicaraguan countryside as she searches for answers that are always one step away. The Furthest City Light is a story of strength, understanding and love. You don’t want to miss it!
