Robyn Gigl

** One of TIME Magazine's Best Mystery and Thriller Books of All Time **

LGBTQIA+ activist Robyn Gigl tackles the complexities of gender, power, and human trafficking with a ripped-from-the-headlines plot in her second legal thriller featuring Erin McCabe, a protagonist who, like the author, is a transgender attorney.

The death of millionaire businessman Charles Parsons seems like a straightforward suicide. There's no sign of forced entry or struggle in his lavish New Jersey mansion - just a single gunshot wound from his own weapon.

But days later, a different story emerges. Computer techs pick up a voice recording that incriminates Parsons' adoptive daughter, Ann, who duly confesses and pleads guilty.

After the case is brought to her attention by an unlikely source, Erin McCabe and her law partner, Duane Swisher, soon realise that pieces of Ann's story don't fit together. Ann clearly knows more than she\'s willing to share, even if it means a life sentence. Who is she protecting, and why?

As their investigation deepens, Erin and Swish find themselves caught in a web of human exploitation, unchecked greed, and murder - before learning the horrifying truth...

An Erin McCabe Legal Thriller

Survivor's Guilt

** 'A groundbreaking series poised to become a definitive one' - New York Times **

Fans of The Good Wife and Anatomy of a Scandal will devour this edgy page-turner, as a Jersey Shore murder puts Erin McCabe's own freedom in the crosshairs...

Erin McCabe's years as a criminal defense attorney have prepared her for almost anything, except being on the opposite side of the interrogation table. A new client-a successful financial adviser-was found stabbed to death on the beach near his palatial Jersey Shore home. The time of death is estimated to be during Erin's one and only consultation with him, during which he revealed that he was secretly transgender. As the last person to see him alive, Erin's now the prime suspect.

If the evidence were simply circumstantial, Erin is sure she and her law partner, Duane Swisher, could prevail. But there are entanglements that can't be easily explained, and connections to powerful unscrupulous politicians who hold a lot of grudges. While the investigation unfolds, Erin and Duane are called on to represent a mother charged with abducting her child-a hot-button case that has both private and public implications for Erin.

As she battles one prosecutor who wants to see her charged with murder, and another determined to send her to jail for refusing to divulge her client's location, Erin also faces a devastating family tragedy. With her career and her relationship on the line, and her life being targeted by a desperate nemesis, there has never been more at stake-or fewer places to turn...

The third instalment of Joseph Hansen Award-winning Robyn Gigl's 'ground-breaking' (New York Times) legal thriller series featuring ripped-from-the-headlines plots and a singular protagonist who, like the author herself, is a transgender lawyer.

'Trans attorney Erin McCabe, the star of Gigl's terrific New Jersey-based legal thrillers, finds herself in the crosshairs of suspicion for the murder of a politically connected financier... When Erin does end up behind bars, we see just how kick-ass a woman she is' - CrimeReads

'Gripping... Gigl brings authenticity and depth to her characters, gracefully presenting LGBTQ issues to a mainstream audience via a satisfying mystery plot. This series deserves a long life' - Publishers Weekly

Remain Silent: A propulsive and timely legal thriller about murder, prejudice and corruption

Fans of The Good Wife and Anatomy of a Scandal will devour this edgy page-turner, as Erin McCabe discovers that getting to the truth can be deadly...

New Jersey State Trooper Jon Mazer has been charged with killing Black investigative reporter Stewart Marshall in a racially charged, headline-making murder. The evidence against criminal defense attorney Erin McCabe's new client is overwhelming. The gun used is Mazer's off-duty weapon. Fingerprints and carpet fibers link Mazer to the crime. And Mazer was patrolling Marshall's neighborhood shortly before the victim took three bullets to the chest. Mazer's argument? He's a gay officer being set up to take the fall in an even bigger story.

Mazer swears he was a secret source for Marshall's exposé about the Lords of Discipline. The covert gang operating within the New Jersey State Police is notorious for enforcing their own code of harassing women, framing minorities, and out-powering any troopers who don't play their rogue and racist games. With everyone from the governor to the county prosecutor on the wrong side of justice, Erin and her partner, Duane Swisher, are prepared to do anything to make sure Mazer doesn't become another victim.

As Erin deals with an intensely personal issue at home, and faces an uphill battle to prove her client's innocence, both she and Duane find themselves mired in a conspiracy of corruption deeper than they imagined - and far more dangerous than they feared.

A propulsive and timely thriller about murder, prejudice, and police corruption, perfect for fans of J.A. Jance, Scott Turow, Lisa Unger, and Renee James.
