Unforgiven Victims

Rob Pierce

Sinopsis

It’s been three years since Sherilee Malcolm was acquitted of the murder of her former mentor and lover, Otto Workman. A popular writer, Sherilee goes underground and creates a fictional character for herself, living a life of illusion. And then, one day, it cracks.
 
Washington “Wash” Shank, a detective hired by Sherilee’s lawyers to prove her innocent, is under siege from the firm where he works. His job was to ruin the confidence of the lead witness against Sherilee. Now that man, Simon Parker, claims he has seen a second murder, and believes it was committed by someone who's a dead ringer for Sherilee.
 
A sculptor and multimedia artist, Parker has a show scheduled that will reveal his vision of the murder and Sherilee’s guilt. Parker’s desire to reveal a truth he does not know, but is convinced he does, becomes a point that Shank wants to thwart, and Sherilee wants to disprove. Now, all of their reputations are at stake. But are their lives as well?
