Publisher's Summary
A lawyer's race to reveal a wrongful conviction collides with the dark shadow of a murder in his own home in this propulsive and perfectly-plotted thriller from "one of our best crime writers at the top of his game" (William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author).
When Boady Sanden first receives the case of Elijah Matthews, he’s certain there’s not much he can do. Elijah, who believes himself to be a prophet, has been locked up in a psychiatric hospital for the past four years, convicted of brutally murdering the pastor of a megachurch. But as a law professor working for the Innocence Project, Boady agrees to look into Elijah’s file. When he does, he is alarmed to find threads that lead back to the death of his colleague and friend, Ben Pruitt, a man shot to death four years earlier in Boady’s own home.
Ben’s daughter, Emma, has lived with Boady and Boady’s wife Dee ever since that awful night. Now fourteen years old, Emma has been growing distant, and soon makes a fateful choice that takes her far from the safety of her godparents. Desperate to bring her home, and to free an innocent man, Boady must do all he can to investigate Elijah’s case while fighting to save the family he has deeply come to love.
Written with energy, propulsion, and his characteristic pathos and insight, Eskens delivers another pitch-perfect legal thriller that reveals a twisted murder and explores faith, love, family, and redemption along the way.

Compelling
Fabulous story and so compelling. A great story in the series. I’ve read many of Allen Eskins works, and I think this is my favourite.

Enjoyable, but a bit short and uneventful.
I love Allen Esken's books, and this one certainly didn't fail to entertain me, however it also didn't quite live up to its predecessors. It felt rather short and lacked the intensity some of his other titles have had. Still very much enjoyed it though. The cast who narrated were all great, although I should forewarn any listeners that the main character's narrator has a very sharp pronunciation of the letter S, to the point it gets quite uncomfortable to listen to at times.

Good plot
I enjoyed the book the mix of the two stories within one narrator’s voice was easy to listen to

Another winner! Great story!
Absolutely loved this new book! this author is wonderful and can tell a story like no other. The only thing I didn’t like is that it ended too soon.
