Presumed Dead

Fifteen years ago, Catherine Hayes died in an accident.At least, that's what everyone believed. Now federal prosecutor Alex Hayes knows the truth: her mother is alive and has spent the last fifteen years working for a shadow network that corrupts everything it touches.

Embedded deep inside the conspiracy she once fought to expose, Alex is given access to the true story of her mother, if the documents are to be believed. They tell a story Alex never knew—her mother's investigation, the threats against her family, and the devastating choice Catherine made to keep her daughter alive.

Page by page, Alex reconstructs the woman her mother was and the woman she became. But the more she learns, the more questions surface. Was Catherine a victim or a collaborator? A prisoner or a willing participant?

In a world where the dead don't stay buried and loyalty is just another weapon, Alex must decide what matters more: the mother she remembers, or the stranger she's about to meet.Perfect for fans of Lisa Scottoline, Michael Connelly, and John Grisham, Presumed Dead is a gripping legal thriller about family secrets, impossible choices, and the dangerous line between justice and survival.
