A Presumption of Guilt

By Vincent Sachar

Mystery, Thriller, Romance—"

Several high school girls in Tallahassee have been abducted and murdered. Brett Gatlin, now a practicing attorney with an office in the Florida Panhandle, is called upon to defend a suspect who is intellectually challenged and has a dark past. Roger Clark, Brett's best friend, works as Gatlin's investigator. The principle of law that a person is innocent until proven guilty doesn't seem to apply to everyone. A local DA and chief detective lock in on Brett's client as the killer and attempt to stifle any further investigation. Forced to do their own investigative work in an attempt to prove the man's innocence, Brett and Roger embark on a journey that includes encounters with local gang members, hit men, police, and several new suspects who could exonerate Brett's client. The closer that Brett and Roger get to the answer, the more their own lives are in peril.

And in the midst of it all, Brett meets a woman who might just be the one to fill the void that exists within his heart. With its twists and turns, A Presumption of Guilt, will have you engaged in a genuine who-dun-it and on the edge of your seat.

A Presumption of Guilt—mystery, thriller, romance embodied in one story and sure to have you turning the pages until its surprising climax.
