"A crackling good crime story that springs from Jefferson's understanding of the criminal justice system and her compassion for the people it's intended to service. I can't wait to hear more from Jennifer Jefferson and her gutsy lawyer,Ginger Rae Reddy."

          Jim Fusilli, author of Hard, Hard City and Tribeca Blues

"A page-turner, this new novel combines a gutsy, sympathetic heroine and a hard-hitting, involving story to make a novel of unexpected  delicacy and perception. The plot moves effortlessly between investigation and the narrator's private life; you'll finish the book wanting more."

Diana O'Hehir, author of Murder Never Forgets and Erased From Memory

"Jennifer Jefferson knows her stuff and isn't afraid to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Gripping, perceptive, and deeply moving, Defending Violet is the very best kind of page-turning crime fiction, one in which the moral complexities of the story itself are enough to keep us flipping the pages."

Elizabeth Letts, author of Family Planning and Quality of Care
