Above the Law

Sinossi

When Justice Protects the Guilty...

 
The law is meant to shield the innocent—but what happens when the chief of police is hiding a dark secret of his own?

 
Social worker Billy Jo McCabe is approached by an anonymous woman with a disturbing claim: an unspeakable crime is being concealed by none other than Police Chief Tolly Shephard, and the victim is his own niece, Cheyenne Potter. Billy Jo turns to Detective Mark Friessen, but without a clear victim, he’s torn—until they start uncovering unsettling clues that suggest Tolly has been covering up far more than anyone realized.

 
As they dig deeper into Tolly’s web of secrets, they soon find themselves up against people who manipulate the law for their own gain. Every answer uncovers another chilling question, and Mark and Billy Jo must tread carefully. In this high-stakes game, crossing the wrong line could lead them into a battle they’re not sure they can win. 

 
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart, Above the Law is a gripping mystery where the lines between justice and corruption blur—and not everyone makes it out unscathed.

JJ Richards

A Murderer on the Loose. 
A Detective Haunted by the Past. 
A Race Against Time. 
DCI Jonathan Walker is a senior detective for the Lancashire Constabulary in North West England. He’s haunted by events of the past and hell bent on redemption, if he can stay healthy for long enough that is. 
"A moody, enveloping crime thriller." (SPR Editorial Review) 
After a body turns up in the sleepy village of Rufford, Walker returns from his leave of absence early, his experience deemed crucial for the case. But when it transpires the crime may be linked to a decades old cold case involving the murder of his sister, the crime becomes personal: he needs this—for his wife and kids, to make amends for past mistakes, and for the current victim—but he must toe the line if he isn’t to be thrown off the case. 
When more people start to go missing and bodies turn up with the same bizarre signature, Walker and his team realise they have a serial killer on their hands. But time is running out if they want to save more people from dying, and one in particular, and Walker has to consider breaking the law himself to make things right, once and for all.
