She took the case to save her career. She had no idea it would cost her everything else.
Former prosecutor Jordan Monroe thought estate law was safe. Quiet. Predictable. Then her mentor called in a favor — defend Dr. Mallory James in a double murder case that has already destroyed two lives and is about to destroy a third.
A respected surgeon and his mistress are dead. Lethal injections. The evidence points straight at Mallory — motive, means, opportunity, and a history of volatile threats.
But as Jordan builds her defense, Harbor Medical starts giving up its secrets.
Three people who should have nothing to hide are hiding everything. Evidence has been moved. Witnesses are lying. And someone is watching Jordan’s every move.
The deeper she digs, the more she questions whether Mallory is innocent — and whether winning this case is worth what it will cost her.
In a courtroom where everyone lies, the most dangerous predator is the one you never see coming.
Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Lisa Gardner, and Melinda Leigh.
