About From the Shadows

Twenty-four-year-old Mary Kendricks is a vivacious young teacher living in the quiet Northern town of Highford, her beauty turning heads wherever she goes. But when she catches the eye of Robert Carter, initial flattery quickly turns dangerous. Wherever she goes, Carter is not far behind and Mary soon becomes stifled by his attention, telling friends of her fears that he’s getting too close.

And then Mary’s body is discovered, stabbed to death in her own bedroom.

The case quickly garners the attention of the press, all baying for Carter’s blood. It’s the case no lawyer wants to touch—until criminal defense lawyer Dan Grant, aided by investigator Jayne Brett, agrees to represent Carter.
