  Habeas Corpus Delicti In the shadowy corridors of justice, where power and privilege collide, defense attorney James Stratton reigns supreme. Known for his razor-sharp intellect and unyielding determination, James has made a name defending the indefensible—criminals who walk free on technicalities and legal maneuvering. But when a series of gruesome murders begin targeting defense attorneys, his mastery of the system becomes his greatest liability. Each victim is discovered in a church, their body posed beneath the Scales of Justice and a note pinned to their chest declaring: “Verdict: Guilty.” For James, it’s business as usual—until he receives a cryptic letter: “Your verdict is coming.” At first dismissing it as a crank’s threat, James’s confidence begins to falter as the body count rises, and a chilling pattern emerges. As he delves deeper into the mystery, James is forced to confront his own past, particularly a high-profile case where justice may have been traded for a courtroom victory. With the help of Sarah Blake, his morally conflicted associate, and a weary detective who doubts James’s innocence, the trio unravels a web of vengeance rooted in betrayal and loss. The killer’s obsession with justice reveals a dangerous paradox: is this a crusade against corruption, or the work of a deranged mind exacting revenge? As the killer closes in, James must confront the harsh truths about his career, his choices, and the lives left shattered in his wake. Habeas Corpus Delicti is a gripping thriller that explores the fragile line between justice and vengeance, forcing readers to question the true cost of defending the guilty—and whether redemption is ever truly possible.

  THE SUSPENSEFUL SEQUEL TO CHARLOTTE LANGLEY’S THE BLAME. 
  When a police detective is found murdered, all clues point to Amma Reynolds, a young woman who lives in the town. Amma has a clear motive. She resents the police for failing to properly investigate her brother’s death, written off as an accidental drowning, but which she believes was murder. 
  If that wasn’t suspicious enough, she is now refusing to speak to the police. 
  Former detective and private investigator Erin Crane is hired by Amma’s family to try and convince her to talk and to find out what really happened on the evening of DI Mark Stormont’s murder. 
  As she digs deeper, Erin realises that in order to solve the case, she first needs to uncover why Amma’s brother turned up dead in a river all those years ago. Even if it means tearing her friendship with DI Lewis Jennings apart. 
  Because there are some secrets the Wakestead police force would rather stay buried…
