Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy legal thrillers with moral complexity where characters' convictions get tested by their own discoveries.
  • You appreciate faith-based fiction that doesn't shy away from difficult ethical questions about justice, redemption, and hypocrisy.
  • You want a page-turner with genuine courtroom drama and character tension that builds beyond just the trial itself.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need graphic depictions of violence. The crime is referenced but not shown in detail.
  • You're looking for subtle or understated faith elements. This is overtly Christian in its worldview and messaging.
  • You prefer character-driven literary fiction over plot-driven narratives. This prioritises suspense and legal intrigue.

About this book

A pregnant woman is brutally attacked, resulting in the death of her unborn child and leaving her in a coma. A man with special needs who does not speak is arrested for the crime. The case attracts national media attention to a small Ohio Valley community. Prosecuting Attorney Lori Franks pursues the death penalty against the accused man. Years earlier, Franks had sought an abortion; she now discovers through DNA testing that her own child was switched at birth and sues for custody of the girl she once tried to abort. Defense attorney Danial Solomon becomes involved in both cases. As Franks and Solomon clash in and out of the courtroom, attraction develops between them. Solomon's investigation into the truth leads him into a dangerous web of conspiracy and corruption that threatens his life. The novel moves between operating room decisions and courtroom proceedings, combining legal drama with suspense.
