When the daughter of a billionaire Hollywood director is found murdered after what appears to be a kidnapping gone wrong, Los Angeles Special Trials prosecutor Rachel Knight and Detective Bailey Keller find themselves at the epicenter of a combustible and high-profile court case.

Then a prime suspect is revealed to be one of Hollywood’s most popular and powerful talent managers — and best friend to the victim’s father. With the director vouching for the manager’s innocence, the Hollywood media machine commences an all-out war designed to discredit both Rachel and her case. Killer Ambition is at once a thrilling ride through the darker side of Tinseltown and a stunning courtroom drama with the brilliant insider’s perspective that Marcia Clark is uniquely qualified to give.

  • "Builds real drama out of its tabloid crime...Knight is a likable crusader for truth in Tinseltown." (3 out of 4 stars)
    People magazine
  • "A refreshing and suspenseful portrayal of high-stakes trials, criminal lawyers on both sides of the aisle and the strategies behind their every move."
    Los Angeles Times
  • "Clark clearly knows the court from the inside out, and her characterization of the proceedings is great fun to read."
    Minneapolis Star Tribune
  • "Clark's expertise truly shines . . . Killer Ambition may prove to be Marcia Clark's grand triumph."
