*SOME MISTAKES CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER…*
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.
Note: The Dutton (US) edition of The Innocent includes the exclusive short story “The Rise and Fall of Super D” featuring Myron Bolitar.
