SMASH CUT
By Sandra Brown, Simon & Schuster, 367 pages, $29.99

This is a great fat escape novel by one of the queens of the romance/mystery combination. The setting is moneyed Atlanta, where rich and powerful Paul Wheeler is killed during an armed robbery. His gorgeous mistress, Julia Rutledge, wants his killer punished to the limits of the law. Wheeler's nephew Creighton is accused of the crime, and his family has hired the best legal talent around. Is Creighton guilty? If not, who is? Julie Rutledge won't rest until someone is convicted. This is definitely one of Brown's best.
