"Suspenseful and fast paced legal thriller"

This was such an interesting read! I'm not a person who reads legal thrillers usually but when I read the blurb of this book I had to give it a shot, and I must say I was not disappointed. The pacing was fast at the beginning and the end but the middle got a bit slow, although the ending was worth it. Do give it a shot if you want to read a unique thriller with some courtroom drama.

Sam Young is an emerging criminal defense attorney and he has psychic abilities, which proves to be a gift but also becomes a curse sometimes. Sam is hired by an attractive young nun named Camille Paridisi who claims that she works for Father Andrada who knew Sam's mother. The pastor claims that the infamous serial killer "Rossyln Ripper" whom the police are on a lookout for has confessed about his crimes to the pastor. Sam agrees to discover the identity of the serial killer before they commit another murder.

Camille gives Sam an old journal which was mailed to the church which they suspect to be written by the confessor.

As Sam starts investigating he realizes that Camille might not be revealing the complete truth and that the Rossyln Ripper case might not be a normal case at all. Read the book to know more.. I can't wait to read the sequel!
