The horror of one night is forever etched in Matt Hunter’s
memory: the night he innocently tried to break up a fight—
and ended up a killer. Now, nine years after his release
from prison, his innocence long forgotten, he’s an ex-con
who takes nothing for granted. With his wife, Olivia,
pregnant and the two of them closing on a house in his home
town, things are looking up. Until the day Matt gets a
shocking, inexplicable video call from Olivia’s phone. And
in an instant, the unraveling begins.
A mysterious man who begins tailing Matt turns up dead. A
beloved nun is murdered. And local and federal authorities--
including homicide investigator, Loren Muse, a childhood
schoolmate of Matt’s with a troubled past of her own-- see
all signs pointing to a former criminal with one murder
already under his belt: Matt Hunter. Unwilling to lose
everything for a second time, Matt and Olivia are forced
outside the law in a desperate attempt to save their future
together.
An electrifying thrill-ride of a novel that peeks behind
the white picket fences of suburbia, THE INNOCENT is at
once a twisting, turning, emotionally-charged story, and a
compelling tale of the choices we make and the
repercussions that never leave us.
