So I told the story of Rachel Knight, and her BFF’s: fellow Special Trials prosecutor, Toni LaCollette, and homicide detective Bailey Keller. When I finally got up the courage to give writing a shot, I decided to revisit my days as a prosecutor in the Special Trials Unit, which handled all the high-profile homicides, in the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office.
