Among the Ashes

A STANDALONE MYSTERY

 

His husband vanished two years ago. Just as Caleb's life finds its feet again, it all starts to come apart.

 

In St. John's, Newfoundland, Caleb Winters is one of the city's rising criminal defense attorneys, with good friends, a new relationship, and a near-perfect record against his courtroom rival, Crown Prosecutor Andrew Murphy. Then, on the morning of his closing arguments, a phone call drags the past back up. Skeletal remains have turned up north of town, and the constabulary believes they belong to his missing husband, Sebastian.

 

Caleb loses the case. Days later, his new partner disappears too. He's certain his furious client is behind it, but the harder he pushes the constabulary, the higher he climbs on their list of suspects. The bodies keep coming, and everyone close to Caleb seems to have a reason to want his life in ruins.

 

With the chaos closing in, can the constables find who's responsible before Caleb joins the people he's already lost?
