The Wrong Victim

By Peter Kirkland

In a small town that's already decided the verdict, one lawyer fights for the truth...

When Attorney Maggie Gallagher takes on a volatile new client still reeling from a devastating personal loss, she never expects the case to spiral beyond the courtroom. After Maggie loses the case, her furious client goes viral for a public rant aimed at a ruthless healthcare CEO.

Days later, the CEO and his lawyer are killed in a fiery explosion aboard the CEO's yacht.

The prime suspect? Maggie's grieving client...

After threatening the CEO in public, the distraught woman's motive couldn't be clearer. But when the dead lawyer's fianc brings Maggie unsettling information about his fianc e's shadowy past, Maggie begins to suspect the CEO may not have been the intended target after all.

As Maggie races to untangle a sinister web of secrets and lies, the pressure of her growing caseload threatens the fragile stability she has fought so hard to build for her family. And in a town hungry for a conviction, every misstep could seal her client's fate.

With the clock ticking, Maggie must uncover the truth before her client is condemned for a crime she didn't commit-while the real killer walks free, ready to strike again.
