The New Jack Dillard Novel
Two killings. Two families shattered. And two lawyers with everything to lose.
Jack Dillard was born into a legacy of justice, but now that legacy feels more like a curse. The son of the legendary Joe Dillard, Jack is trying to rebuild his life after years of personal tragedy. His career is crumbling. His reputation stained. And guilt clings to him like smoke.
When a young true crime podcaster begs him to take on an old murder conviction, Jack wants nothing to do with it. But the deeper he looks, the more the case, and the possibility of a man wrongfully imprisoned, won't let him go.
Meanwhile, Charleston "Charlie" Dillard, Jack's brilliant wife, law partner, and the heart of their family, is fighting her own battles. With Jack emotionally volatile and their new adoption of young Abby stretching them thin, Charlie agrees to take on a potentially lucrative defense case to help pay the bills. But what begins as a financial necessity quickly turns dangerous when she learns the victim's grieving father is a man of wealth and power. And he has a thirst for vengeance.
As the two cases intertwine, Jack and Charlie find themselves in the crosshairs of ruthless adversaries who will stop at nothing to silence them. The clock is ticking, and their family's survival may depend on uncovering a truth that someone is willing to kill to keep hidden.
And even the mighty Joe Dillard is powerless to help.
Smart, tightly plotted, and deeply emotional, this new installment in the Dillard world is perfect for longtime fans, and an irresistible entry point for new readers.
‘Pratt’s richly developed characters are vivid and believable, especially the strong Southern women who fight their male-dominated culture from behind a façade of vulnerability.’ (Publishers Weekly)
Genre: Mystery
