Two sisters on trial for murder. They accuse each other. Who do you believe? From Steve Cavanagh, the “wickedly clever” (The New York Times) master of twisty psychological thrillers.
“911 what’s your emergency?”
“My dad’s dead. My sister Sofia killed him. She’s still in the house. Please send help.”
“My dad’s dead. My sister Alexandra killed him. She’s still in the house. Please send help.”
One of them is a liar and a killer.
But which one?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cavanagh's suspenseful latest case for con man–turned–defense attorney Eddie Flynn (after Witness 8) centers on two sisters who accuse each other of murder. One night, Alexandra and Sofia Avellino separately call 911 to report that their father, former New York City mayor Frank Avellino, has been stabbed in their Manhattan apartment—and that the other sister was the assailant. Frank dies from his wounds, and both women are arrested. Sofia retains Flynn to represent her, and he sets out to determine whether her accusation against Alexandra is true. He quickly finds that both Sofia and Alexandra were abused by their mother, Jane Marsden, as children, and comes to suspect that Frank's murder may be the work of a serial killer. Cavanagh maximizes suspense throughout, alternating chapters from Flynn's perspective and that of the unidentified murderer, until the proceedings culminate in the jury's verdict and a knockout final reveal. This satisfying legal thriller will keep readers guessing to the very end.
