Indefensible : a novel
(Book)

When bird-watcher Cassandra Randall stumbles upon two men digging something she thinks is a grave in a state park, she immediately reports it the authorities. Federal prosecutor Nick Davis is initially incredulous, but goes to investigate the site. When a far-fetched account actually turns up a body, Nick is drawn into a case that will shake both his morals and his domestic life to the very core. One body quickly leads to another. The danger Cassandra has uncovered is just the beginning of a game of deadly stakes that implicates small time drug dealers, petty thieves turned murderers, domestic abuse perpetrators, child pornographers, the highest offices of the legal system... and a criminal who is closer to him than Nick can ever imagine.
