Description
Sarah Morgan is a prominent Washington, DC, criminal defense attorney whose demanding career has widened the distance between her and her husband, Adam, a frustrated writer. Their strained marriage becomes a public crisis when Adam’s mistress is found dead at the couple’s lake house and police arrest him for murder. His affair is no longer deniable, yet Sarah chooses to represent him in court. Preparing his defense requires her to separate professional judgment from humiliation, suspicion, and the private history of their relationship. The case drives a domestic legal thriller in which every argument for Adam’s innocence also forces Sarah to reconsider what she knows about the man beside her—and what loyalty means when marriage itself has become contested evidence.
