This was an excellent debut of a legal thriller by Hillary Bell Locke and I enjoyed it very much. The author is a graduate of Harvard Law School and one of the points she makes with this novel is "you go to law school to learn law but not justice." The protagonist learns this by defending her client who by the end she knows is guilty but is put in a position that if she decides to prosecute her client, it would break the client/lawyer relationship. It was a complex plot with interesting characters that kept the pages turning. The title comes from a quote by Robert F. Kennedy: "Forgive your enemies but remember their names." I will definitely read more by this talented author and I would highly recommend this book to those who love legal thrillers.
