Jake Clearwater thought his days as a top prosecutor were behind him. But when the unsolved murder of a young college student resurfaces, the District Attorney's office pulls him back into the courtroom. Tracie Switzer's body was found two years ago, her life cut short in a horrific act of violence. The case went cold-until a jailhouse informant claimed to know the killer.
Now, Clearwater must battle a legal system riddled with half-truths, unreliable witnesses, and mounting pressure from all sides. As he navigates through the complexities of the case, Clearwater finds that even the slightest misstep could let a vicious murderer walk free. But this time, it's not just his career on the line. With his new marriage hanging in the balance and the weight of the case threatening to crush him, Clearwater has to make tough choices about justice, loyalty, and how far he's willing to go to win.
Tense, fast-paced, and filled with courtroom drama, Cost of Malice takes readers into the heart of the legal battle, where every decision comes with a price-and someone will have to pay.
