When rural Virginia prosecutor Nate Abbitt comes back from a drinking binge that ruined his life and his marriage, the only client he can get is a death-row inmate who claims he was framed. His investigation uncovers corruption and gets him accused of murder, but Nate is determined to fight for justice, redemption, and the love of his wife. Set near the Blue Ridge Mountains in the 1960s, this novel is an “intelligent, atmospheric, and achingly romantic legal thriller.”
