No defense : a Barbara Holloway novel, book 5 / Kate Wilhelm.
The beautiful Lara Jessup married Vinnie, a man more than twice her age for financial gain. He takes out a large life insurance policy on himself, naming her his beneficiary. Most of the residents of Bend and Salt Creek believe Lara married Vinnie for his insurance money. However, Lara and Vinnie know she wed him out of love, gratitude, and protection against her abusive ex-husband. Vinnie dies in an apparent accident. However, the autopsy reveals a bullet to his head was the cause of death. They feel Vinnie committed suicide. On the night of his death, Vinnie was supposed to deliver important papers to Judge McReady, but none are found on his corpse. The Judge and his powerful father-in-law put an inordinate amount of pressure on Lara to give them the documents or be charged with murder. Lara turns to attorney Barbara Holliway to represent her in a case in which all legal avenues appear to convict her client.
