Nothing but the Truth follows Erin McCabe, a transgender attorney from the Garden State, as she discovers that pursuing the truth can be deadly.

New Jersey State Trooper Jon Mazer is accused of murdering Black investigative reporter Stewart Marshall in a racially charged, sensational case. Erin McCabe's new client faces overwhelming evidence: Mazer's off-duty weapon was the murder weapon, fingerprints and carpet fibres connect him to the crime, and he was patrolling Marshall's neighbourhood shortly before the victim was shot three times in the chest. Mazer claims he is a gay officer being framed for an even bigger story.

Mazer insists he was a secret source for Marshall's exposé on the Lords of Discipline, a covert gang within the New Jersey State Police notorious for enforcing their own code of harassing women, framing minorities, and overpowering troopers who don't play along with their rogue and racist games. With the governor to the county prosecutor seemingly on the wrong side of justice, Erin and her partner, Duane Swisher, are determined to ensure Mazer doesn't become another victim.

As Erin deals with a personal issue at home and faces a challenging battle to prove her client's innocence, she and Duane find themselves tangled in a conspiracy of corruption deeper and more dangerous than they imagined.

Taut and powerful. Gigl's latest legal thriller combines the very best of courtroom drama, unexpected twists, and thought-provoking characters. Erin McCabe is my new favourite series character—crazy clever, quietly powerful, and always compelling. Don't miss this series! —Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author

Powerfully written and completely immersive, this revealing (and heartbreaking) legal thriller had me absolutely hooked. Compelling, twisty, and utterly life-changing. Robyn Gigl's insight and compassion are unmatched, and her storytelling skill will have you turning the pages as fast as you can. —Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author

The courtroom fireworks are thrilling, but it's Erin's deepening relationships with her friends, family, and now-husband, Mark, that make her one of the best series characters around. New York Times

Trans attorney Erin McCabe, the star of Gigl's terrific New Jersey-based legal thrillers, finds herself in the crosshairs of suspicion for the murder of a politically connected financier... When Erin does end up behind bars, we see just how kick-ass a woman she is. CrimeReads (Queer Crime Fiction Summer Reads)
