A young woman stands trial for the murder of her adoptive parents, trapped between damning evidence, her own hidden truths, and a justice system ready to condemn her in the gripping new legal thriller from the world's bestselling thriller writer.
‘Patterson is in a class by himself’ GUARDIAN
------------------------------------
The evidence is overwhelming. But what if it hides the truth?
When Janelle Thompson takes the stand accused of murdering her adoptive parents, she already knows how this story ends.
The case against her is airtight, the jury is watching her every move, and every mistake she’s ever made is about to be used to prove she’s a killer.
But Janelle won’t confess to a crime she didn’t commit. As the trial races towards its verdict, she is forced to uncover what really happened the night her parents disappeared.
Because if she loses, the real killer won’t just walk free… they’ll make sure the truth stays buried, along with whoever knows it.
