What if the face of justice belongs to... the accused?
Joining forces with Eddie Bent, a recovering alcoholic and top criminal defense lawyer, Kate takes on the case of a young woman shot while committing a puzzling crime.

And now he is both victim—and shooter—of her unconscious client.

Les secrets ne s’effacent jamais…
Dix-sept ans. C’est le temps qu’il a fallu pour qu’on découvre le corps de Heather Rigby, dissimulé dans une tourbière près d’Halifax. Dix-sept longues années pendant lesquelles le corps, miraculeusement préservé par les eaux marécageuses, a patiemment attendu d’être ramené à l’air libre — si bien préservé qu’on peut encore voir un tatouage sur la peau de la jeune femme.
Dix-sept ans. C’est aussi, pour l’avocate Kate Lange, le temps qu’il a fallu pour voir resurgir un passé sombre et violent qu’elle a tout fait pour mettre à distance.
Se pourrait-il que ce meurtre commis bien des années plus tôt ait quelque chose à voir avec Kenzie Sloane, celle que Kate tient en partie responsable de la mort de sa sœur, et qui porte le même tatouage que la victime ? Et pourquoi a-t-elle le pressentiment que le tueur, dans l’ombre, l’observe et la menace ? Un tueur obsessionnel, habité par la folie meurtrière de la vengeance, et qui a tracé sa sombre promesse à même la peau de sa victime…

« Le suspense est intense, l’intrigue fascinante. » - RT Book Review
Lorsque Elise Vanderzell bascule par-dessus la rambarde de son balcon par une belle nuit d’été, ses enfants se réveillent en plein cauchemar. Leur mère est morte. Et c’est leur père qu’on accuse du meurtre.
Kate Lange, jeune avocate, sort tout juste d’une période personnelle très noire dont elle garde de profondes cicatrices. Elle sait ce que c’est que de vivre un cauchemar, aussi accepte-t-elle de défendre Randall Barrett, son patron – mais également un être très cher –, soupçonné du meurtre de sa femme. Elle découvre alors un dossier complexe, car Randall est le suspect idéal. En apparence, tout l’accuse : son ex-femme l’a trompé, il a la réputation d’être un homme impulsif et violent, il s’est disputé avec la victime quelques heures avant sa mort… Confrontée à une famille hostile, meurtrie par le doute et les conflits, Kate sait qu’elle n’a rien à attendre non plus des légistes de Halifax. Ceux-ci préfèrent à l’évidence voir Randall en prison, plutôt que de défendre l’indéfendable. Et elle est désormais la seule à pouvoir prouver l’innocence de Randall. Il y a urgence, car dans l’ombre, un personnage silencieux attend le moment propice pour porter le coup fatal.
