Straw Man by Martin J Smith January 2001 ISBN # - 0-515-12950-x Jove Mass Market

Teresa Harnett was attacked in her home, and left for dead. The man put away for the crime is getting released because DNA evidence has induced a new trial. During the original trial she testified and help seal the case. But now she is doubting her memory.
She seeks help from a psychologist, Jim Christensen. The only thing is, he was helping the defense, and is in fact living with the defense attorney. As her true memories of the past come to light, more evidence just makes the whole case more confusing. And the suspense builds thought the book weaving around corners and turns like a stock car.

A great read and worthy of the Edgar nomination it received.
