He was convicted of his son’s murder. His wife’s testimony sealed his fate. From a maximum-security prison cell, he’s the only one who can find the real killer.

Jack Lewis’s world shatters when a jury declares him guilty of murdering his three-year-old son. Sentenced to life without parole, his last memory of freedom is the devastating sight of his wife, Angelina, on the witness stand, painting him as a monster. Thrown into the brutal reality of prison, Jack is a target—a convicted child-killer surrounded by men who dispense their own brand of justice. With all hope lost, he resigns himself to a life of misery, haunted by the son he lost and the wife who betrayed him.

But a new assignment as the prison’s law library clerk, coupled with a shocking revelation from the outside world, ignites a flicker of hope in the darkness. Forced to become the legal mind his own attorney never was, Jack begins to pull at the threads of his case. Aided by a loyal best friend and a tenacious private investigator, he uncovers a sinister trail of secrets and lies that lead back to the one person he should have been able to trust.

The deeper Jack digs, the more he realizes his son’s death wasn’t a random tragedy—it was a meticulously planned execution. The real killer is still out there, hiding in plain sight and closer to his old life than he could ever imagine. In a desperate race against time and a system designed to keep him silent, can a man with nothing left to lose unravel a web of deceit to expose a murderer and reclaim his perjured innocence?

Fans of John Grisham, Michael Connelly, and Scott Turow will be captivated by this high-stakes legal thriller about betrayal, justice, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.
