About this audiobook

Caveat, Book One of the Alix Rowan Series by Bobby Cochran, is a courtroom-driven legal thriller set in Salem, Oregon, where every clean answer deserves cross-examination. When Marion County Judge Nora Sloane dies after a suspicious medical emergency, the case against her wife seems almost too easy. Dr. Grace Ripley is a pediatric surgeon with access to medication, a collapsing marriage, deleted messages, and the wrong kind of composure when police arrive. Former prosecutor turned defense attorney Alix Rowan knows what a tidy case can hide. As she takes Grace’s defense, the evidence starts to misbehave: Nora’s phone vanishes, a fourth page disappears from a memo, and hospital records place Grace’s credentials where Grace’s body could not have been. Then Nora’s final work points back to Lila Greaves, the old conviction that made Alix’s career and never stopped troubling her. To save Grace, Alix must break open a murder case Salem wants kept small, before the record buries them both.
