Murder On Cape Cod

A murder charge brings experienced trial attorney Jamie Carson to Cape Cod, where a former pharmaceutical executive faces prosecution in a case attracting intense public attention.

As the popular Massachusetts vacation destination prepares for its busy summer season, the District Attorney’s office is determined to secure a conviction before tourists begin arriving.

Jamie, an accomplished lawyer with the Connecticut firm Ely, Snow & Carson, takes on the defense of a former BigPharma executive accused of murder. Although the evidence initially appears damaging, he refuses to accept the prosecution’s version of events without a thorough investigation.

Working alongside his legal partner, Stephanie Marx, Jamie establishes a temporary office on Cape Cod. Together, they begin examining the evidence and searching for information that could persuade a Massachusetts jury of their client’s innocence.

Their investigation leads them beyond the courtroom as they uncover questions about the people connected to the case, their possible motives, and evidence the District Attorney’s office may have overlooked.

With a client’s future at stake and prosecutors determined to win, Jamie and Stephanie must build a convincing defense while navigating the pressures of a high-profile murder trial.
