Lady Audley's Secret is a mystery novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. Lady Audley marries an elder man, Sir Michael upon his wish. She conceals and protects her secrets with allure and brutality, far from a victim, but unknown to her, another secret exists.
A murder so brutal, only a monster could have committed it. The accused had no motive. But there’s a mountain of evidence against him. A decorated war hero, Ty Chapman has built his dream life in the quiet lakeside community of Delphi, Michigan. He has a beautiful wife. A baby on the way. Everything to live for. He’s the last person anyone would suspect of beating a local handyman to death behind a seedy motel. But when two credible witnesses see him running from the crime scene, hands bloodied, the police believe they have him cold. There has to be a reason for the killing. But the prime suspect won’t talk. Not even to his lawyer. Cass Leary is Delphi’s top defense attorney. In Ty Chapman, she’s finally got a client who can afford her. Only Ty goes mute anytime she tries to get his side of the story. All she has is a parade of character witnesses who swear Ty isn’t capable of such a heinous act. The more Cass delves into the mystery, the more questions she has about the victim. Only most of what she learns is inadmissible in court and Ty still won’t tell her what really happened in those woods. If that weren’t enough, Cass gets a call that her former mob boss has gone missing and the FBI thinks she’s the key to finding him. Their timing couldn’t be worse as Cass heads into the courtroom to argue for Ty Chapman’s future. Will Cass’s fight win her client’s freedom or expose an even more shocking truth? Cold Evidence is the stunning tenth book in the Cass Leary legal thriller series. You'll be guessing until the very last minute. Voiced by Earphones-Award-Winning narrator Teri Clark-Linden, this is the perfect series for fans of Grisham, Turow, and Connelly who like strong, female protagonists with plot twists you'll never see coming.Ver libro
