In Contempt

In Indiana’s justice system, one murder can ruin a career. This one could destroy a family.

When prosecutor Jessica Hartley is found murdered, the timing couldn’t be worse for interim Attorney General Jakob Rizk. With a brutal election underway and every move under scrutiny, the case explodes into a public threat to his office, his reputation, and everything he’s built. A single misstep could hand his enemies exactly what they’ve been waiting for.

Special Investigator Seth Rizk has seen bad cases. This one looks worse by the hour. Too many people had reason to want Jessica out of the way, and the evidence begins falling into place a little too perfectly. What looks like a political murder soon points somewhere far messier—and far closer to home. As pressure mounts, Seth begins to suspect someone is using the investigation itself to settle a score no one saw coming.

Now Seth has to find the truth before the case is turned into a weapon against his brother. Because this time, the murder isn’t just another case. It’s a weapon aimed straight at the Rizk brothers.
