The Venturi Effect

After fleeing the crush of a partnership at a large Chicago criminal-defense firm and a professional breakdown, Devlin Winters just wants to be left alone with a couple sundowners on the deck of her dilapidated mahogany trawler on Galveston Bay. But when an old flame shows up on the boardwalk with a mysterious little boy in tow and an indictment on his heels, fate has other plans, and Devlin finds herself thrust onto a sailboat bound for St. Kitts and staring down her demons in the courtroom, as she squares off against an obsessed prosecutor with a secret of his own. Midwest Book Review's Senior Reviewer D. Donovan calls The Venturi Effect "a compelling story that is simply hard to put down. It's unexpected right up to the end, making it a highly recommended pick for legal thriller, romance, and women's fiction readers alike." About Sage Webb A criminal-defense attorney by trade, Sage does spend a lot of time trying to see what's on the other side of the horizon. When she's not peeking around the road's next bend, she's drafting legal briefs, writing fiction, and taking care of the 40' sailboat she calls home with her husband and trusty boat dog. In 2020, she was a Michigan Mackinac State Historic Parks artist in residence. Her debut novel received Red City Review's 2018 Best Debut Novel Award, and her short stories have appeared in literary journals and Texas story anthologies.
