The Accomplice

Fourteen people are dead, and America believes the case is closed. The Sandman killer has been identified as Daniel Miller, who vanished after the murders. His wife, Carrie, is left to stand trial as his accomplice, and the FBI, the District Attorney and the press all hold that she knew and helped hide what he did.

Eddie Flynn takes a case only when his client is innocent. He accepts Carrie's defense on that basis and sets out to persuade a jury, and a watching public, that she was one more victim of her husband. She knew nothing of his dark side and played no part in the killings. Eddie and his team are the only people who agree.

Gabriel Lake offers another angle. He is a former federal agent who left the Bureau after someone tried to kill him, and he now works as an investigator with a grudge against the Sandman. He believes the FBI has misread serial killers entirely, which makes him the one person who might catch this one.

The trial also drags the killer out of hiding. With his wife facing a life sentence, the Sandman is ready to kill to protect her, and everyone connected to the case becomes a target, Eddie included.
