Law student Rachel North will tell you what she knows to be true. She’s smart, she’s a hard worker, she does the right thing, she’s married to a devoted husband, a lion of Boston’s defense bar, and her internship with the Boston DA’s office is her ticket to a successful future. Problem is—she’s wrong. And in this cat and mouse game—the battle for justice becomes a battle for survival. The Murder List, now in paperback, is a thrilling standalone suspense novel in the tradition of Lisa Scottoline and B. A. Paris from award-winning author and reporter Hank Phillippi Ryan.
