The Slayer Statute

By Royce Wilson

A wealthy Tampa socialite is dead. Her teenage son is on trial. A grieving fianc is waiting for millions.

Under Florida law, a murderer cannot inherit their victim's fortune. But when a wealthy mother is gunned down in her own driveway and her fianc is left wounded, the line between justice and greed blurs instantly. Both the accused son and the surviving fianc stand to inherit a massive fortune.

State's Attorney Investigator Charlie Keene smells reasonable doubt a mile away. His job: to prepare the prosecution's case for trial. But Charlie quickly realizes the police may have arrested the wrong man. The deeper he digs into the forensic evidence, the more the narrative twists, exposing a conspiracy wrapped in blood and money.

With his own bosses demanding a swift conviction, Charlie must race against the courtroom clock to uncover who is lying-and who is about to walk away with a fortune.
