science, history, and gripping suspense, Unlucky in Law pits the tough but compassionate

California, where she is enjoying the breathtaking scenery and spending time with her
boyfriend, P I Paul van Wagoner Klaus Pohlmann is in desperate straits and begs Nina to
take over a seemingly unwinnable case: A luckless two-time felon named Stefan Wyatt has
robbed a grave and made off with the long-buried bones of a Russian emigre When he is
caught and arrested, further devastating evidence found in the grave suggests that Stefan
is guilty of a far more deadly crime

A young woman, a classmate of Stefan's, has been killed, and he is accused of her murder
Now, as a result of California's Third Strike law, Wyatt is looking at twenty-five years
to life whether he's convicted of grand theft or murder Either way, he's in big trouble
With her client's blood DNA found in the dead woman's apartment, Nina faces an uphill
battle Suspecting that her hapless client has been set up, Nina brings in a brilliant

Paul launches his own investigation into the shadowy past of the two-decades-old skeleton
But long-held secrets nearly get him killed and reveal a more insidious evil at work - and
an extraordinary story dating back to tsarist Russia and the Romanov court As Wyatt edges
closer to the unluckiest verdict of his young life, Nina makes an astounding discovery that
just might save her client - or expose a killer who could bury them all
