(2021)(The first book in the Small Town Lawyer series)
A novel by Daleth Hall and Peter Kirkland
Innocence hides a dangerous truth...
Criminal defense attorney Leland Monroe thought he’d hit rock bottom—his high-powered career, shattered; his marriage, broken; his reputation, ruined. Now back in his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, Leland hopes to rebuild his life and reconnect with his troubled son. But in a place where the past never stays buried, Leland soon finds that his return is anything but a fresh start.
His former high school sweetheart is living her own nightmare: her son is on death row, accused of murdering his father. What seems like a clear-cut case quickly unravels as Leland uncovers troubling details that suggest the truth is far more complicated—and dangerous. Dark secrets, long buried, start to surface as a web of corruption entangles the town’s elite, making it clear that the stakes go far beyond his client’s fate.
With powerful forces closing in, Leland realizes the price of uncovering the truth could be higher than he ever imagined—and it might cost him the only family he has left.
