 To prove his clientâs innocence, a lawyer and his investigator must endanger themselves to find the true killer in this gripping legal thriller. Twenty-four-year-old Mary Kendricks is a vivacious, young teacher living in the quiet Northern town of Highford, her beauty turning heads wherever she goes. But when she catches the eye of Robert Carter, initial flattery quickly turns dangerous. Wherever she goes, Carter is not far behind, and Mary soon becomes stifled by his attention, telling friends of her fears that heâs getting too close. And then Maryâs body is discovered, stabbed to death in her own bedroom. The case quickly garners the attention of the press, all baying for Carterâs blood. Itâs the case no lawyer wants to touchâuntil criminal defence lawyer Dan Grant, aided by investigator Jayne Brett, agrees to represent Carter. While Robert Carter admits to being at her house when it happenedâthe bloody fingerprint on her wall placing him at the sceneâhe insists he is innocent of her death. The police believe theyâve got their man, but as they delve further into the investigation, Grant and Brett think the detectives might be looking in the wrong placeâleaving the real murderer to walk free. To catch a killer before another victim is discovered, Brett and Grant must risk everything. Including their own lives . . . If you like Val McDermid or John Grisham you wonât want to miss this book.
