Coles The Verdict Archive: A Gripping Legal Thriller of Buried Truth and Corrupted Justice at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Every verdict leaves a record. Except the one that matters most. When revered federal judge Emmett Halloran dies of an apparent heart attack, veteran judicial investigator Elliot Burns is sent to conduct one final review of the judge's estate. It should be routine. Instead, Burns finds signs that someone entered the sealed house before the government did. A hidden room has been emptied. Three files have vanished. A mysterious brass key has been left behind. And someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to erase whatever the judge was protecting. Days later, a retired juror is executed in her own living room. Nothing is stolen except an old notebook from a decades-old murder trial. Before long, more people connected to that same case begin to disappear, and Burns realizes the deaths aren't random-they're connected to a secret powerful enough to rewrite everything the justice system believes about itself. As he follows a trail of missing records, buried evidence, and impossible coincidences, Burns uncovers whispers of something known only as The Verdict Archive -a hidden collection created by a man who believed history deserved to know how justice was really decided. Now someone is willing to kill to make sure that history is never revealed. With every answer, Burns becomes the next target. Trusting the wrong person could destroy his career. Trusting the right one could cost him his life. And the deeper he digs, the more he begins to fear that one infamous conviction-the kind that shaped careers, headlines, and lives-may have been built on a lie. Because some secrets don't disappear. They wait for someone brave enough to uncover them. The Verdict Archive is the gripping first novel in a riveting new legal conspiracy thriller series from Carter Bryson-a suspenseful page-turner filled with hidden evidence, relentless twists, unforgettable characters, and a mystery that will leave you questioning whether justice and truth have ever truly been the same thing.
