Fiction Legal Thriller - In This Murder Mystery The Criminal Lawyer Must Fight to Find the Truth
GUILT'S SHADOW - Avery Santos Series #1
A woman is dead. A husband is accused. And the truth is the most dangerous weapon in the room.
Elle Stanis was found in her Marrickville garage, the victim of a frenzied attack that left twenty-seven stab wounds and no clear answers. For the Crown, the case is a closed book: a jealous husband, a secret affair, and a fingerprint on the blade.
Avery Santos, Sydney's most relentless defence solicitor-advocate, isn't buying the "crime of passion" narrative. When the lead detective on the case turns out to be more than just a witness, Avery realizes he isn't just fighting for an acquittal. He is fighting for his life.
In a city where silence is bought and guilt is manufactured, justice is the ultimate gamble.
