Elijah, who believes himself to be a prophet, has been locked up in a psychiatric hospital for the past four years, convicted of brutally murdering the pastor of a megachurch. But as a law professor working for the Innocence Project, Boady agrees to look into Elijah's file. When he does, he is alarmed to find threads that lead back to the death of his colleague and friend, Ben Pruitt, a man shot to death four years earlier in Boady's own home. Ben's daughter, Emma, has lived with Boady and Boady's wife Dee ever since that awful night. Now fourteen years old, Emma has been growing distant, and soon makes a fateful choice that takes her far from the safety of her godparents. Desperate to bring her home, and to free an innocent man, Boady must do all he can to investigate Elijah's case while fighting to save the family he has deeply come to love."--Amazon Law teachers Fiction 19302 Murder Fiction 6010 False imprisonment Fiction 19303 Best friends Fiction 10340 Teenage girls Fiction 10260 Minnesota Fiction 9114 Thrillers (Fiction) lcgft 486 Legal fiction (Literature) lcgft 5807 .b179701265 ddc BOOK 30393 30393 ddc 0 0 ABELJ ABELJ AF 2025-01-23 28.00 4 ESKE 40131 2025-06-12 2025-06-05 2025-01-23 BOOK 1
