Under the hot lights at Philly's police headquarters, Darlene Dalton, an ingenue paralegal, is being interrogated for the murder of David L. Nusbaum, the attorney for whom she'd toiled . . . and lusted. Complicating matters are the facts that Nusbaum was married and White, while Darlene is African American and afflicted. Just two months earlier, the fresh-faced, eager young woman successfully interviewed for a paralegal job at Nusbaum's down-at-the-heels solo law practice. So how did such a promising start end so terribly? Did Darlene kill David? And if so, why? And now, will she take an even greater fall for her many concealed transgressions? . . . and also, for his? . . . A tale of power and submission; fear and facades; sadness and self-loathing. Rich in character and setting, The Secrets of Darlene Dalton is a not-so-typical legal whodunit sure to challenge and thrill.
