New York Times bestseller Phillip Margolin launches a brand new series with his most compelling, surprising thriller in years

A woman stumbles onto a dark road—tortured, battered, and bound. She tells a horrific story about being kidnapped. But she was the lucky one—two other women, with similar burns and bruises, were found dead. A prominent local attorney named Alex Mason is arrested when the victim identifies his house as the one in which she was held captive.

Regina Barrister is a legendary criminal defender who has taken on the impossible task of defending Alex Mason, but she’s got a secret, one that threatens her skill, her reputation, and her clients. She’s. A young lawyer, Robin Lockwood, has just started working for Regina. The Mason trial is her first big one. Increasingly, she’s worried her boss’s behavior and the details in the case against their client don’t quite add up.

With surprising twist after twist until the shocking ending, The Third Victim is New York Times bestselling Phillip Margolin at his very best.
