THE SILENT VERDICT
A judge who believes only in evidence... is about to discover a truth evidence cannot prove.
For twenty-seven years, Judge Adrian Cole has lived by one rule: facts decide, emotions don't. His courtroom is a place of order until a plain white envelope arrives with no name, no return address, and a warning no one could have predicted.
A murder. A name. A countdown of seventy-two hours.
When the prediction comes true, Adrian is pulled into a conspiracy that reaches back twenty years, to a trial he presided over, a verdict he was certain was just, and a dead man who is somehow still alive. As each envelope arrives, the line between justice and manipulation grows thinner, and Adrian is forced to face the one question he never let himself ask:
What if the man he set free was never meant to walk out of that courtroom?
A gripping legal thriller about truth, power, and the terrifying cost of being wrong, for readers of courtroom drama who like their justice served with secrets.
