Perfect for you if...

You love legal thrillers with psychological depth, especially ones where the detective's personal damage matters as much as the case itself.
You're drawn to small-town mysteries with high stakes and powerful enemies, where solving the crime isn't just about justice but survival.
You appreciate fast-paced plots that don't waste time on backstory and actually deliver twists that land.

Maybe not for you if...

You need lengthy character development and emotional buildup before you care about anyone in a story.
You prefer cosy mysteries or whodunnits where the puzzle itself is the main appeal.
You want a protagonist who's psychologically stable and operating at full capacity.

About this book

A dark mystery set in a small South Carolina town. Assistant DA Colm Truesdale, mentally scarred following the deaths of his wife and daughter, is drawn back into investigative work after time away from the courtroom. He is tasked with solving the murder of a young woman who operated a beauty salon outside of town. When a page from the victim's appointment book disappears and the crime scene burns down, Truesdale must work to uncover a web of deception involving a powerful judge and his family. The novel follows the psychological dynamics between the killer and the assistant district attorney pursuing the case.
