The Accused

YOUR FRIEND IS INNOCENT. BUT CAN YOU PROVE IT?

The second book in the Cora Baxter Mysteries series.

When investigative journalist Cora Baxter is awoken in the middle of the night and called to the scene of a murder, she's devastated to discover the victim is someone she knows. And very quickly, things go from bad to worse when the investigation team—reluctantly led by Cora's boyfriend DCI Adam Bradberry—charge Cora's best friend and colleague, Samantha Tindall, with the murder.

Convinced of her friend's innocence, Cora and her camera crew find themselves following a trail of clues that leads them all the way to New York. But with only weeks to go until the trial, time is of the essence. Can Cora uncover the truth in time to secure Samantha's freedom? Or is it already too late?
