Alex Hayes Legal Thrillers · Book 1
Fractured Verdict
A wealthy real-estate developer is accused of murdering his wife, and Assistant District Attorney Alex Hayes is assigned to prosecute him. The case offers a professional opportunity, but the evidence does not settle into a simple account of guilt. Across the courtroom stands Michael Donovan, a defense attorney with a place in Alex's past. Preparing for trial draws her into questions that reach beyond the defendant, putting her judgment and her personal loyalties under pressure. Fractured Verdict introduces a prosecutor who must work out what she can prove while still asking what actually happened.
