Defending Innocence

New Release

One small town. One deadly weekend. Three shocking crimes…

A local business owner is shot and disappears under mysterious circumstances. Another man goes on a hit-and-run rampage. And a horrifying day care incident sends innocent children to the ER. At first glance, the events appear unrelated. But as he investigates, local attorney Spencer Dunn begins to think otherwise.

When Spencer digs beneath Autumn Harbor’s idyllic surface, he uncovers a dark thread weaving the cases together—a thread that leads straight to Jack Butcher, the flashy civic leader whose shiny public persona masks a rotten core. For years, Butcher has operated from the shadows, untouchable… and Spencer is determined to change that.

With pressure mounting and his own family under threat, Spencer races to connect the dots before his innocent clients are convicted. But the truth is more twisted than he ever imagined—and Butcher will do anything to keep it buried.

Now, with the impact of past and current cases coming to a head, Spencer must put more than his legal skill to work—or he may become the next casualty.

Thrilling and intense story that keeps you turning the page until the climactic end.

I believe Peter Kirkland is going to be the next John Grisham. I am a lawyer and I love reading about legal dramas and thrillers.

Defending Innocence is an intensely good book. Part mystery, court room drama and suspense all rolled into one well written story.

– JONI

Well worth reading. This was the first book I read from this author but I’ll seek him out in the future.

– JUDITH

It’s a small town mystery, legal thriller with detailed and descriptive scenes, moves fluidly and had me glued to the pages right to the end. Loved and recommend this book.
