Beschreibung

'An enthralling thriller ... hypnotically readable' ANDREW TAYLOR
'A compelling tale of a world on the brink of war' THE TIMES
'Ceaselessly entertaining' OBSERVER

In the heat of the desert, will the trail go cold?

Cairo, 1938

Archie Nevenden is many things: amateur archaeologist; theatre impresario; absent father; potential defector. And now, he's a missing person.


His daughter, Prim, hasn't seen him for nearly fifteen years. But she's never given up on him, and now she's on her way to Cairo to assist in the search.


Harry Taverner claims to work for the British Council, but Prim knows there's more to it. He clearly has a theory about what happened to Archie, one she's not going to like.


As Prim and Harry uncover the layers of Archie's existence in Cairo, they find themselves drawn in to more than one conspiracy. And soon they'll discover that Archie may not be the only one in danger...

    Paul Nelms' quiet life is thrown into turmoil when his wife, Katherine, returns home late one night shattered and barely able to speak. What she reveals will test the very limits of Paul's love, his faith in justice, and his understanding of what it truly means to protect someone. Struggling to make sense of the nightmare Katherine has endured, Paul faces a chilling dilemma: seek vengeance on his own or honor her desperate plea to keep the police out of it. 
    As days pass and unanswered questions pile up, Paul's simmering anger turns into a dangerous obsession. Unable to let it go, he digs deeper into what really happened that night - and each revelation pushes him closer to a line he never thought he'd cross, ultimately drawing him into a moral and legal quagmire that threatens his life, sanity, and everything he holds dear. In the end, a stunning moment in the courtroom forces all secrets into the open. 
    Set against the gritty backdrop of Detroit, The Burden of Evidence is a twist-filled legal thriller that masterfully blends psychological suspense with gripping courtroom drama. It's a haunting exploration of trauma, silence, and the murky boundaries of morality, perfect for readers who crave flawed characters, escalating tension, and slow-burning secrets that refuse to stay buried. 
    Paul must ultimately confront the most harrowing question of all: When justice fails, how far will he go to make things right?
