She swears she has no memory of what happened that night—but the police aren’t buying it. Katie turns to the one person she knows can save her: small-town defense attorney Cass Leary. There’s bad blood between them. Cass once loved Katie like a sister—until the day she broke her brother’s heart. Now Cass wants nothing more than to walk away. But it’s Cass’s brother who begs her to defend Katie. He believes Katie is innocent. To prove it, she’ll need the best lawyer in town. But as the trial unfolds and the evidence mounts, Cass finds herself trapped between professional duty and family loyalty. And the deeper she digs, the closer she comes to a dangerous truth—winning this case could mean exposing a secret that will tear her own family apart. A gripping small-town legal thriller packed with courtroom drama, buried secrets, and shocking twists. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Karin Slaughter, and Michael Connelly.
