Finalist for the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense Winner Best Legal Thriller: Independent Press Award National Indie Excellence Award “ After the Fact is a smart, tense, edge of your seat legal thriller that delivers the goods, sending the reader on a chilling journey through the world of trusts and estates in much the same way that Grisham’s The Firm provided a terrifying glimpse into the universe of tax law . With believable characters, a twisty plot and a hero in Jack Collins that you want to root for, I found this book impossible to put down.” Robert Bailey, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Wrong Side and Legacy of Lies When Jack Collins leaves a small Connecticut law practice to join one of the nation’s most prestigious firms, he trades a nondescript office for an elite one in a gleaming New York City skyscraper. He basks in the pride of working with people far more glamorous than those he left behind, including a famous boss, an alluring coworker, and a well-known client, Abigail Walker, the wealthy widow of a senator. Jack thinks he’s on the path to glory, but he’s really a victim of deceit, a pawn in a game he doesn’t even know he’s playing. His new boss harbors deep secrets, his seductive coworker is not the person he thinks she is, and his new law firm is at the very center of a blackmail plot involving the widow Walker. Blinded by the allure of wealth and power, Jack doesn’t see the danger around him. Time is running out for him to figure out the truth before he loses everything: his career, his marriage, and maybe even his life.
