Reissue of the brilliant third thriller from the author of international bestseller Retribution The defendant - David Marquette. Devoted husband and father. The victims - His own family. The plea - Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. But the State suspects Marquette's insanity defence is being fabricated to disguise murders that were cold-blooded and calculated. Worse, it believes Marquette may be a suspect in a string of unsolved homicides, which would make him one of the most prolific and elusive serial killers in Florida's history. The trial will take young prosecutor Julia Valenciano on a painful personal journey back to a past she has struggled for fifteen years to forget. And it will bring her face to face with a future that is so frightening, she's not sure she ever wants to face it.
Jilliane Hoffman was an Assistant State Attorney between 1992 and 1996. Until 2001 she was the regional advisor for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement advising special agents on complex investigations including narcotics, homicide and organised crime. She lives in Florida.
