Defense Attorney Robin Lockwood is summoned by retired District Attorney Francis Melville to meet with him at Black Oaks, the manor he owns up in the Oregon mountains.

Melville, however, wants Lockwood's help in a legal matter -- righting a wrongful conviction from his days as a DA. A young man, Jose Alvarez, was convicted of murdering his girlfriend -- only for Melville, years later when in private practice, to have a client of his admit to the murder and to framing the man Melville convicted. Unable to reveal what he knew due to attorney-client confidence, Melville now wants Lockwood's help in getting that conviction overturned.

Attorney Robin Lockwood finds herself defending her old nemesis in a multiple murder case with too many suspects where success might cost her own life.

Defense attorney Robin Lockwood faces an unimaginable personal disaster and her greatest professional challenge in the next New York Times bestselling Phillip Margolin's new legal thriller, The Darkest Place. Robin Lockwood is an increasingly prominent defense attorney in the Portland community. A Yale graduate and former MMA fighter, she's becoming known for her string of innovative and successful defense strategies. As a favor to a judge, Robin takes on the pro bono defense of a reprehensible defendant charged with even more reprehensible crimes. But what she doesn't know—what she can't know—is how this one decision, this one case, will wreak complete devastation on her life and plans. As she recovers from those consequences, Robin heads home to her small town of Elk Grove and the bosom of her family. As she tries to recuperate, a unique legal challenge presents itself—Marjorie Loman, a surrogate, is accused of kidnapping the baby she carried for another couple, and assaulting that couple in the process. There's no question that she committed these actions but that's not the same as being guilty of the crime. As Robin works to defend her client, she learns that Marjorie Loman has been hiding under a fake identity and is facing a warrant for her arrest for another, even more serious crime. And buried within the truth may once again be unexpected, deadly consequences.

The "master of heart-pounding suspense," Phillip Margolin, returns with a gripping legal thriller featuring Robin Lockwood. A young woman accuses a local college athlete of rape, leading to his conviction based on undeniable DNA evidence.

Robin Lockwood, a young lawyer at a prestigious firm and former MMA fighter, represents the victim of the first rape in her civil lawsuit against the athlete, who now believes he is being stalked and intimidated.

As Robin navigates these two complex cases, she must uncover the hidden truth that connects them, all while facing mounting pressure and danger.
