Third-year law student Hannah Rokeby looks like the perfect recruit for the University of Virginia’s Innocence Project—bright, relentless, idealistic. But Hannah has come south with a secret brief: keep death-row inmate Michael Dandridge right where he is. Armed with charm and a razor-sharp mind, she embeds herself in the legal team while quietly pulling every thread that might unravel the appeal. Yet the deeper she digs, the more the case—and her own past—start to look nothing like she was told. When the truth threatens to detonate the life she’s built on lies, Hannah must decide which rules to break, and who will pay the price.
Perfect for fans of Tana French, Celeste Ng and Angie Kim.
