Skillful plotting, surprising twists, and a brisk pace keep readers turning the pages in this gripping debut from a USA Today bestselling author, the first entry in a long-running series. Read by more than two million readers!
Attorney Sasha McCandless has one ambition: Make partner at the best firm in town. Then a plum assignment plunges her into a world of deceit and danger.
When a commercial flight crashes, killing everyone on board, she's tapped to defend the airline. It's her big chance—high-stakes litigation for an important client. But, as she digs into the evidence, people close to the case start to die.
She discovers the crash was intentional, part of a breathtakingly evil plan. Unsure if she can trust her colleagues with the horrifying truth, she joins forces with a federal air marshal, and they race to prevent another airline disaster.
Soon, Sasha finds herself with a brand-new life goal: Stop a madman before he kills her.
Reviews
Rare 5 star review from a voracious, albeit particular reader.
5By aaaaajjjjjjjjyyyyyyA rare 5 star review from me. A good, solid story with each character having just the right amount of depth in accordance with their importance to the story. Great timing and cadence all around. I also applaud the undertones of a romantic/friendly relationship between the 2 main characters. It adds some romance to the story for those that appreciate that sort of thing. Their bond comes across as much more realistic and not as rushed as most authors, in fact, 1 of 4 authors that don’t shove romance down the audience’s throats like needy, forlorn, love sick losers. It totally disgusts me and completely turns me off the every book & author that make the romantic and/or sexual attraction the paramount goal of the book. Subtlety and reality are key and much more relatable. They often end it with their soulmate status or worse impending marriage, despite knowing each other mere days. The last one even had a religious epiphany, becoming a high ranking church member and thus a perfect candidate for her future husband, despite (obviously) being moderately antogonistic towards each other 65% of the book. Puke. This was a very tasteful, realistic story that struck a relatable chord with just the right amount of characters, character depth, believability and of course some of that mystery/thriller everyone that reads this style of writing is looking for. Overall, I am impressed and highly recommend. High praise for someone who has been reading 12-20 books a month )several audiobooks while driving, running errands and completing chores). 5 out of 5 stars. of 5 stars.Perfect legal thriller!!!
5By LadyThunder1976Great characters and well developed plot! Includes lots of legal references that I can relate to.Couldn't stop reading
5By Babs226I haven't read a book this fast in years! Finished in two days because it was that enthralling. Looking forward to reading the next one in the Sasha series.Well written, well-edited.
4By Walt6238Might have tighten up her characters a little. I kept having to go back and forth to re-establish who was who. But maybe that was just me. Highly recommended. Walt, prof. editor.Irreparable Harm

4By voracious reader.Ms Miller knows her pronouns!! Not once did I cringe over grammatical errors.Irreparable Harm
5By supermom1019Good reading.My kind of book!
5By Say DuckI couldn’t put the book down! I love the characters and that they acted pretty normal. Even their relationship, Sasha and Leo, grew as it should. (Without all the lust from first glimpse and believing it’s love . . . ) And I homeschooled my four kids, too, so I like you even more!Irreptuable harm
5By BrownstormerGreat readIrreparable Harm
5By cg342This was a very good book, lots of excitement and danger. It held my interest to the end.Great read
5By t0pgunWhen I started the book and realized is a legal thriller, I almost put it down. Fortunately, I had nothing very interesting to read. Within half an hour, I was hooked. A truly excellent book.Refreshing & thrilling
5By AmigeeAway from mystery "serial killer" books and finally a very well written mystery thriller of another nature. iBooks not so great at distinguishing. I had taken a break for about 10 months from reading, because I couldn't find anything different enough to get past page 20... Until now. Just finished reading and have downloaded book 2.Bit of a stretch
3By Tom Walker in PAInteresting trivia about Pittsburgh area but a plot about bringing down an airplane and then not alerting FAA and others just not plausible.Loved it
5By StephieEssNot my usual type of novel, I usually read mysteries but am usually bored with lawyers and court. However, I am hooked on the authors writing style and characters. Will definitely purchase more by this author.Smart, hardworking, and capable!
5By jj goatgirlI really enjoyed this trilogy. Sasha is smart, fights hard, and works even harder. I really appreciated how Leo didn’t step in and protect her physically when he saw she could handle herself. He stepped in and cared for her in ways that filled the gaps in her life both personally and in their work together to solve the mystery. They each appreciate the others strengths and complement them. And it’s really not even a romance it’s a solid mystery to solve and work to be done in and out of the courts and offices. While I’m not sure the source of risk is plausible everything else that dovetails in works brilliantly. I want to buy these in print and read them again!Fantastic !
5By sandy w 746Didn’t need foul language and torrid sex scenes because the story was just plain good. I was a little confused at times with all the legal language, but also found myself contorting to the description of the martial arts to see how it was done. LOL. Great editing as well.Irreparable harm
4By Pins4Liked the book. Very different approach to a mystery. Thank you!A Mind Adventure:
5By NitaH.This book was most enjoyable because it was logical and reasonable. It was also eerie as two recent Boeing planes crashed due to some mechanical override that had taken over the planes control with the planes speeding up at the very end similar to the information on the downed jet in this adventure. It was a logical, warm book, and hard to put down plus the main characters were very likable.Irreparable harm
5By nickname5452316Great book, plot and characters. Keeps moving throughout.
