Nora Carleton left her career as a federal prosecutor in New York to keep her daughter safe. She thought she was moving away from danger – until she finds herself implicated in the brutal murder of her new colleague.

Helen and Nora were working on a confidential assignment involving stolen client funds. They were in the middle of their investigation when Helen’s lifeless body was found at the bottom of a canoe.

Nora knows this is an attempt at a cover up by some very dangerous people who want both women silenced. She knows she must finish what she started or face two awful fates:

A life behind bars or a death sentence of her own?

A gripping new case for Nora Carleton written by the former director of the FBI with an unmatched knowledge of the legal world – no one writes a legal thriller quite like James Comey…

She’s the lawyer. But now she’s the one on trial.

Lawyer Nora Carleton left New York for Connecticut to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund. Life has become slower, more predictable… that is, until Nora’s colleague and friend, Helen, is brutally murdered, and she becomes the prime suspect.

Before Helen’s death, she and Nora were investigating a lead: someone within Saugatuck was using insider information to undercut the company’s investments. Nora knows this is linked to Helen’s murder – but how?

Calling in old colleagues from the US Attorney’s office in Manhattan, Nora must find evidence to prove her innocence and solve the case – or risk being put behind bars herself.
