About the book
A teenager has been accused of committing a horrific crime - the brutal murder of her own parents. The case against her seems strong, but defense attorney Maggie Gallagher has a nagging feeling that something doesn't add up...
Months before, Zoey Conrad had been through a terrifying ordeal when two men broke into her room. In the ensuing struggle, one of the intruders was killed, and Zoey was cleared of any wrongdoing. Now, with her parents found murdered in a similar fashion, suspicion falls heavily on Zoey.
Despite the mounting evidence, Maggie believes in Zoey's innocence. The more she delves into the Conrad family's troubled past, the more she empathizes with the accused. But as she uncovers dark secrets, including her own son's involvement, the stakes become higher. Time is running out, and Maggie must uncover the truth to save Zoey from a lifetime behind bars.
