After failing a crucial assignment overseas, Can Robie must investigate a murder accusation against his father–but to save him, he’ll have to face a violent and deadly fallout within this New York Situations bestselling thriller.

Will Robie escaped his small Gulf Coastline hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi after senior high school, severing all personal ties, and never looked back. Not until the unimaginable occurs. His father, Dan Robie, has been arrested and charged with murder.

Father and kid haven’t about The Guilty spoken or seen each other since the day Robie left city. In that time, Dan Robie–a local lawyer and pillar from the community–has been elected city judge. Not surprisingly, most of Cantrell is definitely aligned against Dan. His guilt can be assumed.

To make matters worse, Dan has refused to do anything to defend himself. When Robie attempts to greatly help, his father responds only with anger and defiance. Could Dan actually be guilty?

Using the equally formidable Jessica Reel at his side, Robie ignores his father’s wishes and begins his own desperate investigation into the case. But Robie is now a stranger to his hometown, an outsider, a man that has forsaken his past and his family. His attempts to save his dad are met with distrust and skepticism…and violence.

Unlike the missions Robie undertook in the service of his country, where his target was clearly defined, digging into his father’s case only unveils more queries. Robie is attracted into the hidden underside of Cantrell, where he must encounter the unexpected and perhaps deadly consequences of the long-ago choices made by dad and son. And this time, there may be no get away for either of these.
