Un grande thriller
Pensava che i suoi segreti fossero al sicuro…
Jessica Wells è un’avvocatessa di grido, e ha tutto quello che si può desiderare: una carriera lanciatissima, un marito amorevole e due figli che la rendono orgogliosa. Ma l’arrivo di Edward Blake nella sua vita rischia di farle perdere tutto.
Blake, architetto, è accusato dell’omicidio della moglie, e la famiglia ha incaricato Jessica di difenderlo. Non appena lo vede, lei si convince della sua innocenza: l’uomo non ha affatto l’aria fredda e crudele degli assassini con cui ha avuto a che fare in passato. Jessica si getta quindi a capofitto nel caso, rovistando nel passato della famiglia Blake per scoprire cosa si nasconde dietro l’omicidio.
Ciò che però la donna non sospetta è che questa indagine la porterà a far luce su segreti che riguardano anche la sua stessa famiglia, qualcosa che minaccia di distruggere tutto ciò che ha di più caro…
