About the book
Every small-town holds secrets...
Accused of pushing his girlfriend from a third-floor balcony in the quiet town of Autumn Harbor, seventeen-year-old Jason Demers seems destined for prison. With eyewitnesses and circumstantial evidence against him, the town is eager to see him locked away.
However, criminal defense attorney Spencer Dunn, a former forensic scientist, knows not to judge a book by its cover. There’s something off about Jason’s case, and the more Spencer investigates, the more disturbing the truth appears.
Jason maintains his innocence, while his powerful and mysterious father is determined to keep the case under wraps. Meanwhile, someone in town is working tirelessly to conceal the reality.
As Spencer delves into a complex web of deception, betrayal, and long-held grudges, he understands that this isn’t your typical case. It’s perilous. The closer he gets to uncovering the truth, the closer danger inches towards him.
Because in Autumn Harbor, justice doesn’t come easily - and Spencer might just be the one who pays the ultimate price.
