The "master of heart-pounding suspense," Phillip Margolin, returns with a gripping legal thriller featuring Robin Lockwood. A young woman accuses a local college athlete of rape, leading to his conviction based on undeniable DNA evidence. Despite being imprisoned, the athlete maintains his innocence and issues threats to both his lawyer and accuser. Soon after, another rape occurs, and DNA analysis reveals that the same perpetrator is responsible—impossible since the convicted man was incarcerated during the second incident. With a new lawyer, the athlete is granted a retrial and bail. Shortly after, his original lawyer vanishes, and his law partner is murdered. Robin Lockwood, a young lawyer at a prestigious firm and former MMA fighter, represents the victim of the first rape in her civil lawsuit against the athlete, who now believes he is being stalked and intimidated. Simultaneously, she is defending another client facing a murder charge that should be dismissed as self-defense, but the determined D.A. insists on pursuing the case. As Robin navigates these two complex cases, she must uncover the hidden truth that connects them, all while facing mounting pressure and danger. Margolin delivers one of his most intricate and compelling crime novels yet.
A magician linked to three murders and suspicious deaths years ago disappears in the middle of his new act in New York Times bestseller Phillip Margolin’s latest thriller featuring Robin Lockwood, A Reasonable Doubt. Justice is blind. But how do you solve a crime that no one could see? Criminal defense attorney and former MMA fighter Robin Lockwood does not believe in magic. Behind every good illusion is a good explanation—unless you consider the work of Robert Chesterfield, that is. One of her firm’s former clients, Chesterfield is a career magician who was linked to a series of suspicious deaths. Even though he walked free, Robin can’t help but wonder whether he was as innocent as he appeared. Now, decades later, the mystery surrounding Chesterfield has taken a dark turn. When he stages his greatest-ever trick, called the Chamber of Death, Chesterfield himself turns up dead at the end. With dozens of witnesses—and no one with any idea of how it was orchestrated—Robin finds herself at loose ends as she tries to untangle this twisted case...and learn the truth about Chesterfield, once and for all. “In the hands of Phillip Margolin, nothing is ever simple and no one is really safe. He is the master of suspense mystery.”—Associated Press “A smooth, tight narrative with a snappy, old-time whodunit finish.
