Judge Edward Mercer was respected, feared, and untouchable.
When he dies peacefully in his mansion, the city mourns a legal giant. The funeral is grand. The obituary praises his legacy. His family begins to divide what he left behind.
Then three days later, a sealed letter arrives at the police station.
Signed by the dead judge.
It contains only one sentence:
I was murdered.
Detective Elias Ward is assigned a case that should be impossible. The handwriting is genuine. The ink is fresh. And everyone who stood beside Mercer's bed the night he died had something to gain.
His loyal son.
His estranged daughter.
His private nurse.
His longtime driver.
His priest.
And someone whose name was never supposed to surface again.
As Ward digs deeper, he uncovers buried secrets, wrongful convictions, hidden money, and a final trap the judge set before he died.
Because Edward Mercer knew someone was coming for him.
He just didn't know the truth would be buried with him.
Buried Witness is a razor-sharp psychological thriller packed with shocking twists, family betrayal, and a mystery that will keep readers guessing until the final page.
Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Knives Out, and The Silent Patient.
