The truth was never lost. It was erased.
When retired Judge Raymond Vossler is found murdered in his St. Louis home, investigators believe they have an easy suspect-a quiet, retired court reporter named Evelyn Marsh.
But legendary defense attorney Marcus Kane knows something the police don't.
Fifteen years earlier, Marcus defended Samuel Landry, a man convicted of murder after a controversial pretrial hearing that never sat right with him. Now, a single torn transcript page discovered in Evelyn's car threatens to expose a secret buried inside the courthouse for decades.
A secret someone is still willing to kill to protect.
As Marcus digs deeper, he uncovers evidence that the official court record may have been deliberately altered, changing the course of an innocent man's life and protecting a web of judges, prosecutors, police officials, and powerful insiders. Every witness has something to hide. Every document raises new questions. And the most important evidence may be the pages that no longer exist.
With a relentless homicide detective closing in, witnesses disappearing, and powerful figures desperate to keep the past buried, Marcus and his team find themselves racing to uncover the truth before the missing transcript-and everyone connected to it-is erased forever.
Set against the unmistakable backdrop of St. Louis, The Missing Transcript Pages combines courtroom drama, murder mystery, political corruption, and relentless legal suspense into a thriller where justice depends on proving that the official record is not always the true one.
In a courtroom, the record is supposed to be the truth.
But what if the truth was edited?
The Missing Transcript Pages is Book Two in the Marcus Kane Legal Thrillers series. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Scott Turow, John Grisham, Robert Dugoni, and courtroom thrillers filled with shocking twists, complex investigations, and unforgettable characters. Once you discover what happened on Page Forty-Nine, you'll be unable to stop turning the pages.
