Echoes of Guilt

A Convicted Killer. A Buried Truth. A Lawyer with Everything to Lose.

When Savannah attorney Claire Stevens agrees to take on the appeal of Anthony Bates—a convicted serial killer—she knows the case will change her life. Anthony’s confession and trial shattered the city, sending shockwaves through its tightly-knit and tradition-bound society. But as Claire delves into the case, she uncovers glaring inconsistencies: unchallenged evidence, conflicting psychological evaluations, and a police force under immense pressure to find a scapegoat.

As Claire dives deeper, her investigation unearths dark secrets about Anthony’s case—and about her own past. Long-buried guilt resurfaces when cryptic messages begin targeting her, drawing a chilling connection between Anthony’s alleged crimes and the tragedy that altered Claire’s life forever.

Caught between her professional duty and the haunting specters of her past, Claire must untangle a web of lies and hidden motives that threaten to obscure the truth forever. The closer she gets to exposing the truth, the more she risks becoming the next victim.

For fans of Lisa Jewell, Karin Slaughter, and psychological suspense, this gripping thriller explores the price of justice, the weight of guilt, and how far someone will go to uncover the truth.
