Guilty By Design

By K.J. McGillick

Jordan Monroe knows how criminal cases work.

A young woman is dead.

The victim's blood contains Ethan Cole's DNA.
The match is confirmed.
The police already have their arrest.

The case should be over.

Instead, it gets stranger with every answer.

The blood is real.
The crime scene is real.
The evidence is real.

But the story the evidence tells doesn't fit the murder.

The blood pattern doesn't match the violence.
The timeline doesn't match the facts.
And the deeper Jordan digs, the more impossible the case becomes.

Because someone didn't just commit murder.

Someone may have built the evidence.

And if Jordan is right, the most dangerous person in the courtroom isn't the defendant.

It's the person who made sure the case could survive trial.

Perfect for readers of Scott Turow, Michael Connelly, and Robert Dugoni, Guilty By Design is a legal thriller where the DNA is real, the evidence is convincing, and the story it tells may be a lie.
