Read A Review:

This book sizzles and it’s not just the Arizona heat!

Sue Grafton, EdgarŽ Award-winning author
                      

Twist Phelan knows of what she writes. Family Claims is as full as a lawyer’s briefcase with character and good storytelling. Phelan is on her way!

Michael Connelly, EdgarŽ Award-winning author


Phelan . . . vividly evokes the Arizona desert and thrills with convincing legal detail. . . . Hannah [Dain] makes a sympathetic and appealing heroine likely to have an interesting future.

Publishers Weekly


Phelan creates appealing characters and paints a vivid portrait of the Arizona desert. A nice alternative for legal-thriller fans tired of the Grisham high-concept steamroller.

Booklist


Phelan’s writing has a spare toughness and lack of sentimentality that barrels you through the rough spots like a good road bike. Best of all are the legal details, those tiny moments of advice and decision that fill a lawyer’s day.

Chicago Tribune


Satisfying, well-plotted mystery.
