Trust Me

By K.J. McGillick

Every client has secrets. Some are worth killing for.

When desperate attorney Poppy Pacheco lands a job at an elite law firm, she thinks her struggles are over. Then she meets her first client.

Dr. Gabriel Blackwell is everything Poppy should avoid-a charismatic surgeon accused of brutally murdering a young nurse. Handsome, arrogant, and dangerous, he insists he's innocent. Poppy isn't convinced, but she needs this job-and taking on this high-profile murder case could make or break her career.

At her side is Mary Cormier, an 80-year-old investigator with a concealed carry permit, a black belt in conspiracy theories, and no patience for liars. Together they navigate a maze of sex clubs, secret affairs, and deadly betrayals, as the case spirals into a nightmare of psychological suspense and courtroom drama.

When Blackwell's wife turns up dead and the evidence points to him again, Poppy faces an impossible choice: defend a man she believes is a killer, or risk everything in a legal battle where one wrong move could be fatal. In a world of crime, corruption, and power plays, the most dangerous person may be sitting right beside her.

Some clients aren't worth saving. Some are worth dying for. And some will kill to keep you quiet.

Perfect for readers who enjoy the legal suspense of Lisa Scottoline (Damaged, Mistaken Identity), the moral complexity of Scott Turow (Presumed Innocent, Testimony), and the sharp, fast-paced style of Alafair Burke (The Ex, Judgment Calls). Fans of Phillip Margolin (Gone, But Not Forgotten), Robert Dugoni (The Seventh Canon), and Kimberly McCreight (A Good Marriage) will be drawn to the blend of courtroom drama, murder mystery, and psychological twists. TRUST ME will also appeal to readers of Angie Kim's Miracle Creek, where layered secrets and deadly betrayals collide in the courtroom.
