Book Club Edition

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 hometown, 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'd been 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 -- sees 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.
