Book description

She has a temper, a sailboat, and a murder case she probably shouldn't have taken.

Brie Broussard was a rising prosecutor—until one case got an innocent kid killed and took everything else with it: her marriage, her career, her faith in the system. Now she's a mitigation investigator scraping by on insurance fraud, living on a sailboat she can barely afford, and skating roller derby on the weekends because the bruises are easier than the grief.

Her newest client is Niko Moreno, owner of Miami's hottest nightclub, accused of decapitating his manager and leaving her body in the Everglades for the alligators. He swears he's innocent—and won't talk about his past, his enemies, or the cocaine someone planted in his car.

After a successful career as a Silicon Valley software engineer, Brooke Terpening attended law school to become a patent attorney. Instead, she took a sharp detour into criminal defense. Working with Florida’s top death-qualified attorney, she saw the inner workings of a justice system few get to see. The cases were heartbreaking and sometimes horrifying. She learned that the deceased weren’t the only victims of a crime. Since graduating from Lighthouse Writers’ Workshop Book Project, her fiction has won awards from the Writers’ League of Texas, Pacific Northwest Writers Association, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, Florida Writers Association, and was a Killer Nashville Claymore finalist. Today, she and her husband live outside Boulder. When not writing, she volunteers with therapy dogs to provide comfort to patients, police, first responders, and trauma survivors.
