Summary
Law professor Nolan Cruz thought his courtroom days were behind him—until he gets a call from NASA. A young astronaut is dead, and another is on her way back to Earth in custody.
The suspect, Charlotte Adams, claims she acted in self-defense. Few believe her besides Nolan, her old college flame, and he is hesitant to take on her case, especially with the power of the prosecutor, the FBI, and the victim's Senator father lining up against her. But Nolan can't stand by and let an innocent woman spend the rest of her life in jail—even if it means risking his job, his marriage, and possibly his life.
Fallen Astronaut examines the extremes of power and ambition in a legal thriller that blends cutting-edge space exploration with propulsive courtroom twists.
Critic Reviews
“Interstellar murder and courtroom drama: the literary mashup I never knew I needed. Fallen Astronaut is a sharp, propulsive page-turner with rich characters, cutting dialogue, and a one-of-a-kind premise that grabbed me from the first page. I couldn’t put it down.”—Jakob Kerr, award-winning author of Dead Money
