Suspicion of Guilt

When a Palm Beach widow dies, the dispute over her will turns deadly in this “breathlessly paced legal thriller” from a New York Times–bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).

When wealthy Palm Beach dowager Althea Tillett dies under suspicious circumstances, it sparks a battle between those in line for an inheritance—including Gail Connor’s old law school classmate and former lover Patrick Norris. He thinks someone has tampered with his aunt’s will—preventing him from receiving millions he hoped to use for an urban renewal project.
 
Although discouraged from getting involved by her own law firm and her lover, Cuban-American attorney Anthony Quintana, Gail agrees to look into Althea’s rapacious relatives. But she soon finds herself in the middle of a family feud that’s about much more than money. It’s about secrets, lies, forgery . . . and murder.
 
Written by a former prosecutor, this “provocative, breathless” national bestseller “will surprise you” (The Plain Dealer).
