NYPD homicide cop Vince Cardozo must unmask a cunning killer in bestselling author Edward Stewart’s powerhouse tale of crime and punishment
When it comes to the dark side of humanity, Vince Cardozo has already seen plenty. But his encounter with cult leader Corey Lyle will challenge even Cardozo. Lyle stands accused of a brutal terrorist bombing and the murder of a Manhattan power couple. His trial transfixes the city—but nothing about the case is what it seems. While the prosecution and defense duel, an explosive secret lurks in the jury box: One juror is not the person she claims to be. Now Cardozo must race against the clock to prevent a terrible miscarriage of justice . . . and save a woman from a cold-blooded killer.
