Among The Ashes - Paperback

by C. L. Brees (Author)

CALEB'S HUSBAND DISAPPEARED TWO YEARS AGO. JUST AS HIS LIFE IS ON THE UPSWING, AN UNCONTROLLABLE FORCE THROWS HIS PERFECT LIFE ON A DOWNWARD SPIRAL.

As one of the most up-and-coming criminal defense attorneys in St. John's, Newfoundland, Caleb Winters has virtually everything anybody could hope for: incredible friends, a new lover, and nearly perfect record of crushing his foe, Crown Prosecutor Andrew Murphy, in court.

An early morning phone call on the day of his closing submissions dredges up faded memories. Skeletal remains were found north of town and the constabulary believes them to be of his missing husband, Sebastian.

After losing his case in court, Caleb's new lover disappears. He suspects his angry client is responsible for his disappearance, but his pleas with the constabulary only drive them to put Caleb at the top of their suspect list. As the days go by, and the bodies pile up, the constabulary must consider the possibility someone else is behind the mayhem.

With a handful of suspects, all with a motive for wanting to ruin Caleb's life, will the constables assigned figure out who's accountable for the chaos? Or will Caleb find himself like his friends; departed too soon?
