The trials of Nikki Hill is a fiction novel written by Christopher Darden and Dick Lochte

Your guide is Nicolette Hill, a beautiful and ambitious young black prosecutor on her way up to the district attorney's office and a heroine for the new millenium. Nikki has a career but not a life, and a serious lack of romance. On top of this Nikki has just been handed the high profile case of her career: the body of Maddie Gray, host of TV's most popular tabloid news show, has been found in a dumpster in South Central gangland. The police immediately have a suspect in Jamal Decshamps, a young black man, with Maddie's ring in his pocket. Then the airtight case against him springs some big leaks, sending Nikki and a team of quirky homicide detectives scramlbing to find the real killer. But an army of attorneys, spin doctors, gangsters, and crooked cops try to make the wheels of justice spin their way.
