SURVIVOR'S GUILT

An Erin McCabe Legal Thriller No. 2

Robyn Gigl

Selected as one of TIME Magazine's Best Mysteries of All Time and one of the New York Times' Best Crime Novels of the Year, Survivor's Guilt is the second instalment in Joseph Hansen Award-winner Robyn Gigl's ground-breaking own-voices legal thriller series featuring defense attorney Erin McCabe.

The death of millionaire businessman Charles Parsons seems like a straightforward suicide. There's no sign of forced entry or struggle in his lavish New Jersey mansion - just a single gunshot wound from his own weapon.

But days later, a different story emerges. Computer techs pick up a voice recording that incriminates Parsons's adoptive daughter, Ann, who duly confesses and pleads guilty.

After the case is brought to her attention by an unlikely source, Erin McCabe and her law partner, Duane Swisher, soon realise that pieces of Ann's story don't fit together. Ann clearly knows more than she's willing to share, even if it means a life sentence. Who is she protecting, and why?

As their investigation deepens, Erin and Swish find themselves caught in a web of human exploitation, unchecked greed, and murder - before learning the horrifying truth...

'I was mightily impressed with Robyn Gigl's debut, By Way of Sorrow... but Survivor's Guilt is even better. A ground-breaking series now stands to become a definitive one' - New York Times (Best Crime Novels of the Year)

'A richly textured legal thriller that brims with authentic detail. Clever, bold and original, it skilfully pairs a compulsive plot with a cast of complex characters. In Erin and Swish, Robyn Gigl gives us a winning duo - and a riveting series that's set to become a classic' - Kia Abdullah, author of Those People Next Door
