    From REMINGTON KANE, the author of the REVENGE Series and the TANNER Series 
    ALIBI: MURDER - A thrilling murder mystery with deadly twists, romance, and a shocking finale 
    A man accused of murder has the perfect alibi—he was killing someone else. 
    John Beckett stands accused of the brutal murder of his wife, but he knows the truth: he is innocent. However, his alibi only makes things worse—he was committing premeditated murder at the time of his wife’s death. 
    As the evidence stacks against him and the investigation, led by a driven female detective, grows more intense, Beckett must face the horrifying reality that someone has framed him for his wife’s murder. 
    Was it the police chief, a jilted lover seeking revenge on Laura for leaving him to be with Beckett? Or perhaps the town’s notorious peeping tom, whose twisted desires may have turned violent? Beckett’s own brother-in-law, an alcoholic with a history of violence, could also be a suspect.  
    As Beckett fights to clear his name and stay out of prison, he finds himself drawn to his beautiful defense attorney. But as their attraction grows stronger, so does the danger surrounding them. Will they discover the true killer before it’s too late? Or will Beckett be sentenced to a life behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit? 
    With each passing day, Beckett’s fate hangs in the balance as he desperately tries to unravel the web of lies and deceit surrounding his wife’s death. The tension builds as secrets are uncovered and dark motives are revealed, leading to a shocking climax both inside and outside of the courtroom, which will leave readers on the edge of their seats. 
    Can Beckett find justice and clear his name, or will he become another casualty in a deadly game of betrayal and revenge?
