Under the terms of her father's will, Sheila Castlemann inherited it all: the money, the family mansion, and Castlemann Cosmetics - a fortune 500 company that her father had built. The will stipulated that his daughter's inheritance be put into trust, controlled by his sister, Deloris, until Sheila reaches the age of 30, another 7 years.

This trust strains the relationship between Sheila and her family. As she struggles to gain her independence, Sheila hires Jonathan Derby, a robust criminal defense lawyer from Los Angeles, to vacate the trust controlled by her aunt.

When Sheila is charged with the murder of her uncle, Derby uncovers corporate corruption, embezzlement, and familial ties to the New Jersey mafia. As Derby delves deeper into the facts of the case he discovers that things aren't always what they seem: witnesses having dual lives, a family hiding dark secrets, and a client refusing to be forthcoming.

Setting The Record Straight, Case of the Insolent Heiress is packed with intrigue, romance, and deception, and only Jonathan Derby has the legal prowess to sort the evidence to discover what is truth and fiction amidst a dramatic courtroom battle.
