Undue Influence

A stunning psychological drama by the bestselling author hailed by the Los Angeles Times as the “newest superstar among fictionalizing attorneys.”

On her deathbed, Paul Madriani’s wife made him promise to look after her younger sister Laurel Vega. Locked in a bitter custody battle with her former husband Jack, a powerful legislator, Laurel stands to lose her two teenagers. Suddenly the heated custody battle becomes a murder trial when Jack’s new wife is found murdered in the bedroom of his opulent home—only moments after a hot exchange with Laurel on her front porch.

Forced to take the case because of his promise to his wife, Paul begins to look for any evidence of Laurel’s innocence. As the evidence mounts, Paul faces a chilling realization that his stoic sister-in-law may have actually committed murder—and with good reason.
