All the Quiet Years

A young lawyer takes the case nobody else will touch. Caleb Hale has two violent felonies on his record, no defense, and no interest in saving his own life. He has just murdered his older brother in a quiet college town — and he refuses to say a word about why. Daniel Cole is a second-year attorney with no criminal experience. He has no business standing between Caleb and the death penalty. So why has Caleb specifically asked for him? As Daniel digs into the case, two narratives stop fitting together. The Caleb that neighbors describe is gentle and quiet. The Caleb the prosecution is building is a monster. And buried inside it all is the killing of a nineteen-year-old girl from fifteen years ago — a case that was closed, neat and final, and never should have been. A truth Caleb has carried alone for half his life is about to come apart. And every move he is making, in plain sight, is the next move in a plan he set in motion long before anyone was paying attention. A literary suspense novel about silence, family, and the long road back to being seen. Perfect for readers of Harlan Coben, Lisa Gardner, Tana French, and Dennis Lehane.
