The Perfect Alibi: A Novel (Robin Lockwood Book 2) - Philip Margolin
- In english. First published in 2019 (e-book).
A young woman accuses a prominent local college athlete of rape. Convicted with the help of undisputable DNA evidence, the athlete swears his innocence and threatens both his lawyer and his accuser as he's sent to prison. Not long after, there's another rape and the DNA test shows that the same person committed both rapes—which is seemingly impossible since the man convicted of the first rape was in prison at the time of the second one. Now, the convicted athlete, joined by a new lawyer, is granted a new trial and bail. Shortly thereafter, his original lawyer disappears and his law partner is murdered.
-> "Quite a classical plot, but Margolin suceeds in unfolding the story and make every page a must turn one. Quick reading, as nothing must stop you to proceed further with the story."
