Wyatt Blake, district attorney turned defense lawyer, faces his most challenging murder case yet. He’s representing Senator Norm Brassfield, who is charged with murdering an intruder in his home, a famous actor accused of raping his teenage daughter. Colorado’s ‘Make My Day’ defense will determine whether Wyatt can get Senator Brassfield out of jail, even though the evidence suggests he lured the victim to his death. Wyatt, a widower with a six-year-old daughter, faces challenges in his personal life as he tries to open his heart to love while battling grief and guilt over the tragic death of his wife.

‘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.’
