Janie Thompson is a bad daughter.
Every day she sits in her cell at the women’s prison alone and confused because she doesn’t know how she got there. Of course she knows why she’s behind bars. You don’t participate in a murder without punishment. You also don’t get a plea deal without costs. That cost is to testify against her father. To tell a jury how he killed her mother while she watched and did nothing. Well, not entirely nothing.
Janie knows she has to testify. If she doesn’t, she’ll spend the rest of her life in prison. But is she ready to speak the words out loud? Is she ready to tell the jury her shocking tale of how her mother was murdered? Once she tells her story there’s not a chance in hell that anyone will doubt that she’s a monster.
In the fourth novelette of The Murder Lawyer series, criminal defense lawyer Luna Goldwyn finds herself once again at the center of another gruesome murder trial. While she hopes Janie finds some redemption by testifying, she knows the public feels differently. The hostility in the community has Luna on edge and it has her husband Mark concerned about her safety. He knows Luna’s committed to her clients and the law but at what cost?
