Orthopedic surgeon Phillip Madison's life was totally shattered when the police wok him up one night and pointed out that his car, safely locked in his garage, had just killed 2 people in a hit and run. This was a new author for me and I am definitely going to be looking for more from him. This was excellent.
Een spannende triller. Lekker dik boek wat heerlijk wegleest en blijft boeien tot het einde.
Very Good
Dokter Phillip Madison had alles... geld, macht en een onkreukbare reputatie. Totdat een wraakzuchtige vrouw zijn leven tot een hel maakte...
Midden in de nacht wordt Phillip Madison, een sympathieke en rechtschapen chirurg, door de politie van zijn bed gelicht op verdenking van doodslag. Madisons leven verandert op slag in een nachtmerrie. Immers, alles wijst erop dat hij inderdaad de dader is.
Gesteund door zijn advocaat en een ex-politieman zet Phillip Madison alles op alles om zijn familie, vrienden en de officier van justitie te overtuigen van zijn onschuld.
Maar zal het lukken te bewijzen dat het allemaal het werk is van een wraakzuchtige vrouw, die enkele maanden eerder door Madison is ontslagen?
