Marshall: The Devil's Advocate

By: Sol, Bay

Some stories are built to be survived. Not all of them are true.

Marshall Whitmore doesn't lose. In thirty years as a defense attorney, he's built a reputation on finding the angle no one else can see - the argument that turns the unwinnable case into a verdict. He calls it instinct. He's never questioned where it comes from.

When he takes on Elena Cole - a mother accused of killing her sixteen-year-old son, with three contradictory accounts of the night he died - it's exactly the kind of case Marshall can't resist. But the deeper he digs into Elena's shattered memory, the more it starts to resemble something he recognizes but can't name: gaps in his own past he's spent a lifetime not looking at too closely, and a calm, reasonable voice in his head that has always known exactly which version of events he can survive telling.

His name is Randdy. He's never once told Marshall to do anything wrong.

That's what makes him so hard to leave behind.

As the trial closes in, Marshall is forced to confront the possibility that defending Elena means defending himself - and that the truth, however unbearable, might be the only verdict either of them can actually live with.

MARSHALL: The Devil's Advocate is a slow-burn psychological drama about memory, complicity, and the stories we tell to survive the people we love - for readers of The Silent Patient, Presumed Innocent, and We Need to Talk About Kevin.
