Powers of Attorney Latt, Mimi Lavenda

A high-powered female attorney is murdered in her office, and the investigation uncovers a web of ambition, betrayal, and secrets behind the polished walls of an elite Los Angeles law firm. Mimi Leavy Latt writes from experience — she practiced entertainment law before turning to fiction — and it shows in the sharp, insider detail of courtroom strategy and boardroom politics. This is legal thriller territory with a feminist edge: women lawyers navigating a ruthless profession where success comes with impossible costs. The plotting is tight, the stakes personal, and the Los Angeles setting adds glamour to the grit. If you devoured *Presumed Innocent* or early Grisham and want something with more complex female characters, this delivers. A smart page-turner for late-night reading when you want legal drama with actual substance.
