When Dr. Caryn Dryden is found floating dead in her hot
tub, homicide inspector Devin Juhle targets a suspect close
to home: her husband, Stuart Gorman. After all, Stuart was
recently asked for a divorce, and he stands to gain
millions in insurance. His alibi - that he was at his cabin
on Tamarack Lake that weekend - doesn't keep him out of hot
water. But maybe a shrewd attorney will.
Gina Roake, a partner in Dismas Hardy's firm, is eager to
take on such a high-profile case, especially when the
client's innocence seems so easy to prove. Yet the more
time she spends with Stuart, the more complicated her
feelings become: she feels strangely drawn to him at first,
then has to confront the possibility of a dark history
lurking in his past. Desperate to know the truth, Gina
calls in Wyatt Hunt to investigate. Before the facts are
in, her client is on the lam: he's already been tried in
the press, and so he's certain the courtroom won't bring
him any mercy either. Racing to a stunning conclusion as
Gina uncovers disturbing answers, The Suspect is a chilling
story of secrets, love, and lies.
