Assumed Guilty (A Susan Sorella Mystery, Band 3) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Caught with the smoking gun. But is he really the killer? Defense attorney Susan Sorella takes on the case no one else wants: William Jackson, a teenager accused of gunning down his own father. The evidence is overwhelming-police found him standing over the body, shotgun in hand. Charged as an adult, William faces life in prison without parole. Refusing to accept the evidence at face value, Susan launches her own investigation. With reluctant help from Boston mob boss Frank Romano, she peels back layers of family secrets and betrayal. What she finds is darker than she imagined: spousal abuse, infidelity, identity theft-and a mother whose love for her son may be the most dangerous lie of all. As the trial looms, Susan's fight to save William puts everything on the line: her safety, her career, and the fragile balance of justice itself. To win, she must outwit a system that already judged her client guilty-and expose the truth before it destroys them both.
