Hostile Witness
Book Three in the Sloane Mercer Series
The assault was real.
The evidence was real.
But someone is using justice for all the wrong reasons.
When defense attorney Sloane Mercer agrees to represent Jessica Gardner in a civil sexual assault lawsuit against Grammy-winning musician Jackson Crozier, she believes she’s fighting for a woman who deserves to be heard.
The Adult Survivors Act has reopened the courthouse doors, giving Jessica one opportunity to confront the man she says assaulted her years earlier.
Then the threats begin.
As discovery unfolds, Sloane uncovers evidence that powerful investors, corporate rivals, and political players have quietly turned Jessica’s case into a weapon in a financial battle that has nothing to do with the assault itself.
The courtroom becomes a battlefield where every witness has an agenda, every document raises new questions, and every victory carries a hidden cost.
Now Sloane must determine whether justice can still exist when the truth is being manipulated by people who care only about power.
Hostile Witness is a gripping legal thriller filled with courtroom drama, corporate conspiracy, and relentless suspense that will keep readers guessing until the final verdict.
