The βmaster of heart-pounding suspenseβ returns with a brand new series and a USA Today bestseller The Third Victim is New York Times bestseller Phillip Margolin at his very best.
A woman stumbles onto a dark road in rural Oregonβtortured, battered, and bound. She tells a horrific story about being kidnapped, then tortured, until she finally managed to escape. She was the lucky oneβtwo other women, with similar burns and bruises, were found dead.
The surviving victim identifies the house where she was held captive and the owner, Alex Masonβa prominent local attorneyβis arrested. Although he loudly insists upon his innocence, his wifeβs statements about his sexual sadism and the physical evidence found at the scene, his summer home, is damning.
Regina Barrister is a legendary criminal defense attorney, known as βThe Sorceressβ for her courtroom victories. But sheβs got a secret, one that threatens her skill, her reputation, and, most of all, her clients. And sheβs agreed to take on the seemingly impossible task of defending Alex Mason.
Robin Lockwood, a young lawyer and former MMA fighter, has just left a clerkship at the Oregon Supreme Court to work for Regina Barrister. The Alex Mason trial is her first big one, a likely death penalty case, and sheβs second chair to Regina. Increasingly, sheβs worried her bossβs behavior and the details in the case against their client donβt quite add up.
