THE VERDICT HOUSE: A Dani Reyes Legal Thriller

She called 911 before her husband died. That should have been enough to crack the case wide open. Instead, Alma Salazar is charged with murdering Eddie Fuentes, a sheriff's deputy loved by half of Laredo and mourned by the other half. The evidence is almost too perfect: her gun, her fingerprints, her kitchen, her silence. Defense attorney Dani Reyes knows perfect cases are usually built, not found. Then the gaps begin to speak. A missing rug. A room no one photographed. A medical timeline that changes when the State needs it to. A dead deputy's work in asset forfeiture. A jury watched by people who were never hired by either side. Alma won't tell Dani the truth about where she was that night. But the people trying to convict her may be hiding something worse than murder. In a county where evidence can be cleaned, clocks can move, and verdicts can be purchased before a trial begins, Dani Reyes has one job: Find the truth before the system finishes writing it.
