She took the case to save her career. She wasn't sure her client was innocent.
Poppy Pacheco is broke, in debt, and one bad month from losing everything.
A junior attorney with zero jury trial wins, she's spent the last few years defending clients no one else wants-because she doesn't have a choice.
Then she gets the offer.
A real firm. A salary. Benefits. A future.
She signs before she can think twice.
Her first client is Dr. Gabriel Blackwell.
A thoracic surgeon. Charismatic. Precise.
The kind of man hospitals build their reputations around.
The kind of man who never raises his voice-
and never makes a mistake.
Accused of murdering a young nurse in his cardio-thoracic ICU.
Poppy knows the law.
Everyone deserves a defense.
The state must prove its case.
But from the moment Blackwell looks at her-just a beat too long-she knows something is wrong.
Not fear.
Not panic.
Something else.
Because the evidence doesn't tell a simple story.
A dead nurse in his ICU.
And then his wife-found murdered in her own home, days after telling friends she was leaving him.
The man Poppy is defending may not be innocent.
The system she trusts may not be built for justice-
it may be built for whoever gets there first.
And winning this case may be the worst thing she can do.
Behind her is the firm that took a chance on her-
including a ninety-year-old partner who has seen more guilty men walk free than the law will ever admit...
and who isn't in the habit of letting it happen twice.
Because some clients don't need a defense.
They need to be stopped.
For fans of Lisa Gardner, John Grisham, and Karin Slaughter.
TRUST ME is Book 7 in the A Path of Deception and Betrayal series.
