I think this book may have been written in the 1990s. Possibly 2000s. Possibly set in the southwestern U.S. Plot concerns a lawyer who defends someone, who I think might be in a motorcycle gang/club in a murder case. I remember thinking the book made me think of Scott Turow books. The author could be Scott Turow, but I'm not able to figure out what book it might be. I read the book in the 2000s. The attorney is the main character of the book and I think it may be written from his point of view. SpoilerThe accused is innocent but the motorcycle club was with the victim, maybe victims, before they were killed. I think the club took the victim up into the mountains with them, Some partying went on. But the victim or victims were then killed afterwards by someone else. I think the lawyer may have been a well known, wealthy defense attorney. May have known the defendant before the trial. Thank you.
