Taut, timely, and impossible to put down.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terhaar\u2019s gripping latest pits a dogged investigator against a dangerous web of murder, money, and corporate power. Nineteen-year-old David Jacobs, an autistic accounting prot\u00e9g\u00e9, is walking his dog in Pelham Bay Park when he discovers a woman\u2019s body. Days later, David is accused of murder and pressured into a plea that sends him to prison. His family turns to former NYPD detective turned private investigator Dan Burnett, whose investigation reveals that the victim was an environmental attorney fighting a billion-dollar data center project in suburban New York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terhaar pairs an affecting wrongful-accusation plot with a timely exploration of corporate power and environmental conflict. David, whose devotion to Scout provides some of the novel\u2019s warmest moments, makes an immediately sympathetic figure, while Dan\u2019s dogged pursuit of the truth drives the investigation. As overlooked clues reveal increasingly powerful interests, the stakes rise convincingly. The result is an involving crime thriller fueled by corruption, determination, and the pursuit of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for fans of twisty investigations and high-stakes corporate schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
