Maison d'édition: Next Chapter

Synopsis

In 1950, a missing persons report turned into one of the most suspenseful stories of a double homicide ever recorded. It was the perfect crime: no motive, no clues, and no bodies.
 
Against all odds, investigative reporter Gene McLain put his career on the line in pursuit of the killer, and later became known as "the greatest investigative reporter of our time", winning five Big Story awards and a Pulitzer prize. In his honor, Walter Cronkite of CBS News presented the first annual Gene McLain Scholarship Award "For outstanding work as an Investigative Reporter" at Arizona State University.
 
This high-tension thriller by Hollywood producer, director and writer Rena Winters is based on the true story of a man who proved that one person can make a difference.

Cold Evidence

Robin James

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.
