Toni Barston Legal

When a mistake allows a serial killer to walk free, prominent women start turning up dead. After the brutal murder of someone closely involved in the original case, a new female investigator is assigned to protect attorney Toni Barston. Soon both women are struggling to remain professional as the search for the killer intensifies. Will the killer be caught before Toni becomes his next target?

After a truck driver nearly hits her and a bigoted judge throws her case out of court, it is no secret Toni Barston is angry. But when both men are murdered and Toni has no alibi, she suddenly finds herself regarded as a main suspect. To complicate matters, Toni finds herself attracted to the F.B.I. agent investigating the case.

At first it seemed liked Toni Barston’s lucky day. During a routine interview with a murder suspect, prosecuting attorney Tony Barston stumbles onto a fabulous lead into an organized crime operation. Drugs, black marketeering and more—the opportunity to break the criminal enterprise once and for all is suddenly in Toni’s capable hands.

Times have changed for gay people, and when prosecutor Toni Barston hears about the death of a local lesbian bartender, she doesn’t immediately think, “Hate crime.” But it is. Even then, to assume that the murderer is a crazed religious fanatic would be a cliché. Except that’s where preliminary evidence leads her. In fact, suspects are depressingly plentiful.
