Don't Look Away

From the author of The Perfect Home comes a harrowing domestic crime thriller where a former defense attorney is forced out of retirement to defend her husbandnow the prime suspect in the serial murder case terrorizing Florida's Gulf Coast.

Leslie Woodhouse's most exciting days should be behind her. In a past life, she was a defense attorney with a reputation for finding loopholes in high-profile cases. Now, she's enjoying a modest retirement in Florida in a seaside condo with her mild-mannered husband, Robert. The only things that get her heart rate up now are late-night coffees, playful banter with her beloved older sister, and the news: the serial killer ravaging Florida's Gulf Coast has just made his first mistake. An eight-year-old girl has seen his face and lived.

To Leslie, the murderer is little more than a morbid fascinationuntil she comes home to flashing police lights. Robert is arrested, accused of being the Gulf Coast Killer. Leslie is convinced of his innocence, and despite warnings not to represent her husband, she starts work on his defense. But as she unravels the facts, she can't shake the unanswered questions. What was Robert's DNA doing at the scene of the crime? And if she's right to defend Robert, then who is the real Gulf Coast Killer, and why is he framing her husband?

Don't Look Away is a twisty, compulsively readable thriller that asks: what do we owe one another and what are the consequences of ignoring the truth?
