‘Morley Swingle delivers a well-planned twist.’ Kirkus Reviews
‘A sharp, twist-filled legal thriller that follows Wyatt Blake, a former district attorney turned defense lawyer. Set in the snow-draped peaks of Colorado, the story weaves courtroom drama, moral gray areas, and emotional backstories into a compelling take of justice, loss, and the fine line between right and wrong. . . What really got me wasn’t just the whodunit mystery; it was Wyatt himself. He’s a flawed, smart, funny, sad guy who’s trying to stitch life back together after losing his wife in a freak skiing accident.’ Literary Titan
