Manhattan defense attorney Peter Caine, the narrator of this creepy thriller from Brady (The Blind), has built his carefully constructed life on lies and achieved great success despite his fraught childhood, but it’s come at a price: he neglects his live-in girlfriend of eight years, and he’s been estranged from his 15-year-old son, who’s now in his custody after his ex-wife’s death. Now, a long running feud with scheming New York County DA Harrison Doyle, who once humiliated him during a trial, has come to a head. When Doyle’s stepdaughter and Caine’s mistress, Charlotte Doyle, is stabbed to death, the evidence points to Caine’s guilt. Can he prove his innocence and keep his house of cards intact? Weaving between past and present, Caine offers insight into his failed marriage and the events that created a man incapable of feeling and scornful of human weakness. Amid a seething culture of depravity and ruinous corruption, shocking revelations pave the way to an explosive finale. Fans of unusual protagonists are in for a treat. Agent: Marian Young, Marian Young Agency. (Jan.)
In this electrifying psychological thriller, a high-powered sociopath meets his reckoning when he's accused of the brutal murder of his mistress.
Did he kill Charlie Doyle? And if he didn't...who did?
Peter Caine, a cutthroat Manhattan defense attorney, worked ruthlessly to become the best at his job. On the surface, he is charming and handsome, but inside he is cold and heartless. He fights without remorse to acquit murderers, pedophiles and rapists.
When Charlie Doyle, the daughter of the Manhattan DA-and Peter's former lover-is murdered, Peter's world is quickly sent into a tailspin. He becomes the prime suspect as the DA, a professional enemy of Peter's, embarks on a witch hunt to avenge his daughter's death, stopping at nothing to ensure Peter is found guilty of the murder.
In the challenge of his career and his life, Peter races against the clock to prove his innocence. As the evidence mounts against him, he's forced to begin unraveling his own dark web of lies and confront the sins of his past. But the truth of who killed Charlie Doyle is more twisted and sinister than anyone could have imagined...
