A cold case is not a closed case.

Being the heir of the most powerful family in the state of Ohio and one of the most eligible bachelors in the tri-county area is harder than it looks. Tom Brody’s most important job is not prosecuting major crimes in Cuyahoga County, but upholding his family name. When the mastermind ofthe crime of the decade finally comes to light, Tom is torn between his duty to the law and the secrets he needs to keep.

Casey Cort is back at the defense table. In her first trial since her return to criminal law, she comes up against her former fiancé. Tom is as corrupt as she remembers, but she’s still keeping his confidences. Because if Casey takes Tom Brody down, her client goes with him…

Contained is the next installment in the high stakes Casey Cort legal thriller series. If you like strong women, explosive secrets, and stories ripped from the headlines, you’ll love Aime Austin’s page-turning tale.

Will Justice Be Served?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 9, 2020

Casey Cort finds herself defending two men accused of crimes that disgust her, but this is her job as a defense attorney. To make life more stressful, the prosecutor is her former fiancée. Tom Brody is a sought after bachelor from a wealthy well connected family. However, he has secrets that if revealed would destroy his career. Casey knows what they are but she won't reveal them. As her headline grabbing case comes to trial, Casey sees that all involved have an ulterior motive and that careers and reputations are on the line. I wondered if justice will be served. Aime Austin pulled me into this complex story. I understood that secrets can make us do things we wouldn't think we are capable of. The twists were shocking. It helped me understand Casey as I watched her struggle with work and her personal life. I felt her confusion as she tried to come to terms with her situation. Casey was an interesting character. The author made me feel as if I were in Cleveland. I enjoyed the local references. Double Jeopardy is a great read. Aime Austin wrote a book that I couldn't put down. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

The Wheels of Justice . . .

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2020

Tom Brody’s primary task has little to do with prosecuting major crimes, but rather in upholding and protecting his powerful family’s name. His political leverage raises him way above the common lawyer.

Neil Walsh, an old-timer narcotics detective, tipped Brody off to a case that the feds had lost big-time. The feds had missed something huge. They would have a double jeopardy situation with the phone evidence Walsh was telling him about, handing him an evidence bag with a phone in it and reminding him of the history in the other case. Since double jeopardy wouldn’t apply for Tom Brody, it would be a feather in his cap in bringing down an entire criminal operation the feds hadn’t been able to do. The evidence bag in his hand could be his key to a case he couldn’t lose that would catapult him to the front of the line for the top deputy job, or even better, the top elected job.

Brody keeps tons of secrets and now, with the scandalous crime uncovered, his loyalty is stretched to the breaking point between his ethical duty to the law and the family secrets he needs to keep covered up.

With the return of Casey Cort, his ex-fiancé, representing the defendant, the two will have dangerous ground to tread because if she takes the corrupt Tom Brody down, her own client will go down with him. Where will she draw the line? Is there a way to find justice in all of this?

It’s kind of disheartening to see how the people who are supposed to stand for justice can be so jaded inside, high ideals quickly lost as the reality of right and wrong and survival is highlighted in all its ugliness. Not all the time, but enough to tarnish those reputations. Regardless, this is an interesting story that will take the reader along with an inside view of the proceedings. Grab your copy and see what you think.

Criminal Justice vs Conscience on Trial

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 9, 2020

How do you balance between the cliched "a rock and a hard place" and between "two ex-fiances, also prosecutors, during a criminal defense trial"? is the situation that Casey Cort finds herself in when she accepts a case referral from her first ex. Whether guilty or not, all are guaranteed a 'fair trial', but that proves to be quite a challenge. Her conduct and all the twists and turns involved are intriguing to follow.

The ways of the judiciary system....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 7, 2020

Corruption, abuse of minors, abuse of people by the midia, abuse of the law and the list goes on. How to get rid of the bad guys and not be involved in their absurd and wicked games, that's one of the plots in this book. It shows how the judiciary system sometimes has to walk on a very thin line to get people behind bars as technicalities abound and may prevent justice to be done. A most entertaining story!
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 30, 2020

I love Casey Cort and her fight for her clients. The stories are amazingly realistic and this one puts poor Casey against her former fiance. But, as always, she does her job well and we learn a bit about corruption and complications of the judicial system.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 9, 2020

Suspense, corruption and drama fill the pages in Double Jeopardy. Another great read in the series you won't want to put down. Strong characters, a well written story line and intrigue keep you turning the pages. Highly recommend!
