Summary: |
Fifteen years ago, Casey Carter claimed to be sleeping when her fiancé, famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III, was murdered, but the jury didn't believe her. Casey still claims that she's innocent. Released after serving her fifteen-year sentence, Casey knows that as a convicted felon she will always live under suspicion. Now, armed with a new piece of evidence, Casey is determined to persuade Laurie Morgan and the Under Suspicion team to investigate her story and clear her name. Laurie, although uncertain of Casey's innocence, wants to help her. With Alex Buckley taking a break from the show, a new on-air host named Ryan Nichols has snagged his spot. Ryan, a young legal whiz with an impressive pedigree, has a big reputation and an attitude to match it. Ryan does everything he can to stop Laurie from taking on Casey's case. He, along with so many other, is certain Casey's guilty. But there's always more to every story, sleeping just below the surface. A relentless gossip columnist who is on a mission to torment Casey, a taskmaster boss, and Casey's long-standing bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, and to give Casey a chance to prove her innocence. |
