But it soon becomes apparent that plenty of people may have wanted Sandra McCoy silenced for good . . . along with anyone who gets in the way. <p/> An Edgar Award finalist for the first book in the bestselling series, <i>Suspicion of Innocence</i>, as well as a former prosecutor herself, Barbara Parker once again gives readers a "lively legal romp" (<i>Booklist</i>). <p/> Suspicion of Madness<i> is the 7th book in the Suspicion series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Barbara Parker was trained as a lawyer and worked as a prosecutor with the state attorney's office in Dade County, Florida, before moving into a private practice that specialized in real estate and family law.
