Jane, a loving mother of two, has drowned her toddler son and is charged with his murder in this powerful examination of love, loss, and family legacy. When a prosecutor decides Janes husband Tom is partially to blame for the death and charges him with failure to protect, Toms attorney proposes a radical defense. He plans to create reasonable doubt about his clients alleged guilt by showing that Janes genealogy is the cause of her violence, and that she inherited her latent violence in the same way she might inherit a talent for music or a predisposition to disease.
Harrington begins with a fascinating premise and develops it fully. Tom and his wife emerge as compelling, complexly developed individuals. This debut novel is as much a character study as a legal thriller. —Booklist
Beautifully written, compellingly crafted ... brilliant characters. —Donald T. Phillips, author, Lincoln on Leadership
"A fascinating legal thriler with some paranormal elements... fast-paced and gripping as readers want to know what caused Jane to kill her son and attempt to kill her daughter." Harriet Klausner, Amazon #1 Reviewer, Senior Review Midwest Book Review
