Robyn Giglâs unique protagonist, transgender attorney Erin McCabe, returns in a fascinating and timely legal thriller that delves into the dark world of human trafficking by the rich and powerful âŠ
At first, the death of millionaire businessman Charles Parsons seems like a straightforward suicide. Thereâs no sign of forced entry or struggle in his lavish New Jersey mansionâjust a single gunshot wound from his own weapon. But
days later, a different story emerges. Computer techs pick up a voice recording that incriminates Parsonsâ adoptive daughter, Ann, who duly confesses and pleads guilty.
Erin McCabe has little interest in reviewing such a slam-dunk caseâeven after she has a mysterious meeting with one of the investigating detectives, who reveals that Ann, like Erin, is a trans woman. Yet despite their misgivings, Erin and her law
partner, Duane Swisher, ultimately canât ignore the pieces that donât fit.
As their investigation deepens, Erin and Swish convince Ann to withdraw her guilty plea. But Ann clearly knows more than sheâs willing to share, even if it means a life sentence. Who is she protecting, and why?
Fighting against time and a prosecutor hell-bent on notching another conviction, the two work tirelesslyâErin inside the courtroom, Swish in the fieldâto clear Annâs name. But despite Parsonsâ former associatesâ determination to keep hisâ
and their ownâillegal activities buried, a horrifying truth emergesâa web of human exploitation, unchecked greed, and murder. Soon, a quest to see justice served becomes a desperate struggle to survive âŠ
