Description

A battle-scarred investigative journalist returns from Afghanistan struggling with PTSD and is drawn into a murder trial involving a powerful family and a widow determined to protect her children. As Dawson Scott pursues an FBI lead concerning a long-missing former Marine, his investigation becomes entangled with Amelia Nolan’s dangerous secrets—and an elusive killer whose reach extends far beyond the courtroom. When a shocking death makes Dawson a suspect, he must unravel a web of betrayal, hidden identities, and long-buried crimes before the truth puts everyone he cares about in jeopardy. Fast-paced, atmospheric, and richly layered, this romantic thriller blends psychological suspense, wartime trauma, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
