Description
In a world of wealth and secrets, one attorney fights for the truth.
Avery Collins isn't your typical attorney. After years behind bars for a murder she didn't commit, she's now a relentless defender of the innocent. Her latest case? A ticking time bomb of secrets and lies.
Esme Guitierrez, an El Salvadoran refugee, stands accused of murdering Aria Whitmore, the talented daughter of a billionaire hotelier.
Avery unearths a web of disturbing truths hidden within the Whitmore mansion: the disappearance of Aria's birth mother, her unlikely friendship with a schizophrenic man, and threatening emails containing insider information point to a much darker reality.
Each revelation draws her into a labyrinth of secrets that only leads to more questions.
Avery must navigate a treacherous legal landscape filled with media scrutiny, death threats, and unexpected twists to uncover the truth and prevent an innocent woman from facing the death penalty.
Rachel Sinclair delivers a high-octane legal thriller with a shocking twist. A pulse-pounding journey through the underbelly of justice. Clear your schedule - once you start, you won't be able to put it down.

She currently lives in San Diego, California, with her boyfriend, Joey and her two fur babies, Annie and Toby. In her spare time, she likes to read, bicycle all over town, Boogie Board at the beach, and watch trashy television.
