An innocent man is scheduled to die. A United States Supreme Court nominee holds the key to his freedom. Which will she choose? Her career or his life? Seasoned attorney Brendan Murphy eagerly uncovers legal loopholes for his defendants. After keeping his death-row client alive for thirty long years, he's sure he can buy enough time for the man to see his son's upcoming wedding. But when an imminent execution date is suddenly set, Murphy resolves to prove the convict couldn't have murdered his pregnant wife. Claire Chastain isn't afraid to testify for those she loves. So when her soon-to-be father-in-law faces lethal injection, the gutsy lawyer reopens his case hoping to expose the real killer. But as she follows a trail littered with old love affairs, dangerous stalkers, and a missing witness, Chastain's once firm belief in his innocence begins to waver.

And with the clock ticking closer to capital punishment, shocking revelations from the highest court in the land could turn the entire case upside down. Can Murphy and Chastain untangle the web of clues before the truth dies with the accused? Keeping Secrets, A Legal Thriller is the fourth standalone novel in the gripping Warrick-Thompson Files series.
