Dark Justice
(2018)(The first book in the Emerson Justice Legal Thriller series)
A novel by Rachel Sinclair
An A-List actress is dead, and a young boy, Carter Dixon, is the chief suspect in her murder.
Emerson Justice's topsy-turvy Los Angeles life is about to become even crazier when she's assigned to defend Carter Dixon for the murder of Addison Wentworth. Addison was one of the top actresses in Hollywood - two Oscars, a $40 million mansion and a $20 million asking price for films. When she's murdered, Carter is fingered for the crime, plunging him into the middle of the story of the century and turning his life into an inescapable media fishbowl. He insists he didn't do it, yet his hair was found at the murder scene and it was discovered that he had written threatening and profane messages about Addison on an Incel community message board.
As Emerson gets into the case, she discovers many things that don't add up, and she's unable to put the pieces of the puzzle together in time. She's convinced that her client is innocent, but there just is no way to prove it. Everything seems to be against Carter, and it's inevitable that he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison for a murder that he didn't commit.
Then a shocking discovery changes everything and throws the entire case into a chaos that Emerson could not have anticipated.
With the twists and turns that you've come to expect from a Rachel Sinclair legal thriller, Dark Justice is a page-turning thriller that combines psychological and legal thriller elements in a roller-coaster read that you won't be able to put down until the last shocking page.
Genre: Mystery
