When her client Kaylene Adams fails to appear for her protective order hearing, attorney Emilie Wesley senses something is wrong and soon learns that Kaylene killed one of her daughters and then committed suicide. But neither Emilie nor Kaylene's brother Billings believe that Kaylene could have perpetrated this crime, which left her younger daughter, Kaydence, in critical condition. The two rush to find the truth before Kaydence's father takes custody. Meanwhile, a stalker hides in the shadows, ready to have Emilie meet the same fate as her client.
VERDICT Although it deftly handles the issue of domestic violence, Putman's newest legal thriller (after Beyond Justice) may prove uncomfortable reading for some in its depiction of marital abuse. The dual story lines of Kaylene's murder and Emilie's stalker combine to make a frightening yet compulsive reading experience.
