Guilty of Innocence

Blair Cody is a high-powered attorney whose success in the courtroom has not carried over into his personal life.  His marriage has crumbled, and his conniving ex-wife is far from satisfied with the terms of her divorce settlement.  Michelle Cody will go to any lengths—even dangerous lengths—to get what she wants from Blair, including kidnapping the Codys’ eleven-year-old daughter, Courtney, and leading Blair on a harrowing cross-country search for the girl.  To Michelle, Courtney is merely a pawn in a selfish game of extortion and revenge, and if Michelle does not get what she wants, Blair may never see his beloved child again.


Hundreds of miles from home, Blair finds himself alone and vulnerable to the machinations of those who want him to fail—Michelle; her cold, calculating new boyfriend, John Morgan; her father, Thomas Keating, a key Republican Party player who exploits his political connections in order to thwart Blair’s efforts to find Courtney; and William Reed, the greedy Los Angeles district attorney whose attention and ambitions are focused solely on winning the upcoming election.


When the explosive situation leads to murder, the stakes go even higher—and as a net of suspicion entangles Blair and his child, Blair’s life spirals further and further out of his control.  But above all else, he is a father and a lawyer—and his instincts take over as he goes head to head with his enemies, both inside and outside the courtroom, sending powerful reverberations through the political and legal circles of two states and ultimately sealing his little girl’s fate.
