Thriller Legal
Cassie Quinn may only be twenty-three, but she knows a
few things. One: money can’t buy happiness, but
it’s certainly better to have it. Two: family matters
most. Three: her younger brother Billy is not a rapist.
When Billy, a junior at Princeton, is arrested for
assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie races home to Manhattan
to join forces with her big brother Nate and their parents,
Lawrence and Eleanor. The Quinns scramble to hire the best
legal minds money can buy, but Billy fits the all-too-
familiar sex-offender profile—white, athletic, and
privileged—that makes headlines and sways juries.
Meanwhile, Cassie struggles to understand why
Billy’s ex Diana would go this far, even if the
breakup was painful. And she knows how the end of first love
can destroy someone: Her own years-long affair with a
powerful, charismatic man left her shattered, and
she’s only recently regained her
footing.
As reporters converge outside their Upper East Side
landmark building, the Quinns gird themselves for a media-
saturated trial, and Cassie vows she’ll do whatever it
takes to save Billy. But what if that means exposing her own
darkest secrets to the world?
