• UM ESTRANHO CASO DE CULPA

Description

SOME MISTAKES CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER… The horror of one night is forever etched in Matt Hunter’s memory; the night he innocently tried to break up a fight-and ended up a killer. Now nine years after his release from prison, his innocence long forgotten, he’s an ex-con who takes nothing for granted. With his wife Olivia pregnant and the two of them closing on a house in his home town, things are looking up. Until the day Matt gets a shocking, inexplicable video call from Olivia’s phone. And in an instant, the unraveling begins. A mysterious man who begins tailing Matt turns up dead. A beloved nun is murdered. And local and federal authorities–including homicide investigator, Loren Muse, a childhood schoolmate of Matt’s with a troubled past of her own–see all signs pointing to a former criminal with one murder already under his belt… Matt Hunter. Unwilling to lose everything for a second time, Matt and Olivia are forced outside the law in a desperate attempt to save their future together. An electrifying thrill-ride of a novel that peeks behind the white picket fences of suburbia, THE INNOCENT is at once a twisting, turning, emotionally-charged story, and a compelling tale of the choices we make and the repercussions that never leave us.

Graças à solidariedade do irmão consegue integrar-se numa firma de advogados e a vida parece começar a sorrir-lhe quando a encantadora Olive se torna sua mulher e espera agora um filho de ambos. Mas então Matt é atingido por novo golpe do destino ao receber, no seu telemóvel, um estranhíssimo vídeo de Olive.
