Attorney and LGBTQ+ activist Robyn Gigl tackles the complexities of gender, power, public perception, and human trafficking with a ripped-from-the-headlines plot in her second legal thriller featuring Erin McCabe, a protagonist who, like the author, is a transgender attorney. Now in paperback for fans of J.A. Jance, Scott Turow, Lisa Unger, and Renee James. Among this years standouts...hair-raising...thrillingly complex...a groundbreaking series poised to become a definitive one. -- The New York Times Book Review (Sarah Weinman) on Survivors Guilt At first, the death of millionaire businessman Charles Parsons seems like a straightforward suicide. Theres no sign of forced entry or struggle in his lavish New Jersey mansion--just a single gunshot wound from his own weapon. But days later, a different story emerges. Computer techs pick up a voice recording that incriminates Parsons adoptive daughter, Ann, who duly confesses and pleads guilty. Erin McCabe has little interest in reviewing such a slam-dunk case--even after she learns that Ann, like herself, is a trans woman. Yet despite their misgivings, Erin and her law partner, Duane Swisher, ultimately cant ignore the pieces that dont fit. As their investigation deepens, they convince Ann to withdraw her guilty plea. But Ann clearly knows more than shes willing to share, even if it means a life sentence. Who is she protecting, and why? Fighting against time and a prosecutor hell-bent on notching another conviction, Erin and Swish work tirelessly to clear Anns name. But despite Parsons former associates determination to keep his--and their own--illegal activities buried, a horrifying truth emerges--a web of human exploitation, greed, and murder. Soon, a quest to see justice served becomes a desperate struggle to survive . . .
