The Samantha Kincaid series by Alafair Burke features a deputy district attorney working in Portland, Oregon. The three-book series starts with Judgment Calls (2003), where Kincaid takes on a case involving an attacked young woman and faces pressure from both the legal system and her own past.

Burke drew on her own time as a prosecutor in the Multnomah County DA’s office to create the series, giving the legal details a level of accuracy that sets these books apart from typical courtroom fiction. Missing Justice (2004) and Close Case (2005) continue Kincaid’s story, with each book presenting a new criminal case that tests her professionally and personally.
