America's best hitman was hired to kill--but when a D.C. government operation goes horribly wrong, he must rescue a teenage runaway and investigate her parents' murders in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller. It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. But something about this mission doesn't seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable. He refuses to pull the trigger. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and is on the run. Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a wayward teenage girl, a fourteen-year-old runaway from a foster home. But she isn't an ordinary runaway--her parents were murdered, and her own life is in danger. Against all of his professional habits, Robie rescues her and finds he can't walk away. He needs to help her. Even worse, the more Robie learns about the girl, the more he's convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that may explain her parents' deaths and stretch to unimaginable levels of power. Now, Robie may have to step out of the shadows in order to save this girl's life...and perhaps his own.

A recent study estimates that thousands of innocent people are wrongfully imprisoned each year in the United States. Some are exonerated through DNA evidence, but many more languish in prison because their convictions were based on faulty eyewitness accounts and no DNA is available. Prominent criminal lawyer and law professor Abbe Smith weaves together real life cases to show what it is like to champion the rights of the accused. Smith describes the moral and ethical dilemmas of representing the guilty and the weighty burden of fighting for the innocent, including the victorious story of how she helped free a woman wrongly imprisoned for nearly three decades. For fans of Law and Order and investigative news programs like 20/20, Case of a Lifetime is a chilling look at what really determines a person's innocence.

"This book adeptly shows just how easily the government can create financial crimes, and how brutal and life-changing the resulting prosecutions are, which take an otherwise law-abiding citizen and portray them as ‘Public Enemy #1.' Michael Quiel is to be commended for telling it how it is – the Justice System is ‘rigged.'" --Edward Snook - Editor-in-Chief, US Observer

It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame.

A lawyer and his investigator must uncover a secret worth killing for after a reporter is murdered in this tense legal thriller. By day, the park rings with the sound of children’s excited laughter. But in the early hours of the morning, the isolated playground is cloaked in shadows—the perfect hiding place to conceal a brutal murder. When London journalist, Mark Roberts, is found battered to death, the police quickly arrest petty thief, Nick Connor. Criminal defense lawyer, Dan Grant, along with investigator Jayne Brett, are called to represent him—but with bloody footprints and a stolen wallet linking him to the scene, this is one case they’re unlikely to win. Until help comes from an unlikely source . . . when the murder victim’s mother says that Connor is innocent, begging Dan and Jayne to find the real perpetrator. Unravelling the complex case means finding the connection between Mark’s death and a series of child murders in Yorkshire over twenty years ago. Father of two, Rodney Walker, has spent years in prison after being convicted of killing of 6-year-old William and seven-year-old Ruby back in 1997. But when Mark Roberts gets on the trail of the story, convinced that Walker is innocent, he exposed secrets that have long been buried. Secrets so dark, someone will kill to keep them hidden. Dan and Jayne are in a race against time to uncover the truth—before a killer silences them forever. Praise for the writing of Neil White “A lively, accurate and absolutely compelling legal thriller; stand-out in both its prose and its plot. The characters are still with me, two days after finishing it. I couldn’t put it down.” —Gillian McAllister, Sunday Times-bestselling author of Everything but the Truth “A tense and exciting crime thriller.” —Rachel Abbott, author of Sleep Tight and And So It Begins “One of the best writers of legal thrillers out there.” —David Jackson, author of Don’t Make a Sound and A Tapping At My Door
