Plea of Insanity

Plea of Insanity

Summary

THE GRIPPING LEGAL THRILLER FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF RETRIBUTION

Some fear madness, some people choose it . . .

The defendant: David Marquette. A successful attorney. Devoted father and husband.

The victims: His own wife and three small children.

The plea: Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity.

But is his insanity defence a cover-up for cold-blooded and calculated murders?

And is there a link between him and a string of unsolved homicides across the state?

The trial will take young prosecutor Julia Valenciano on a painful personal journey back into her own past - a past she is trying to forget.

And it will bring her face to face with a future that is so frightening, she's not sure she ever wants to see it.

'Writes like an angel' Independent on Sunday
