The Neat Alibi

In the grimly orderly world of Adrian Karst, every minute is accounted for, every action rehearsed. When he is accused of a brutal murder in the federal penitentiary, his meticulous daily log becomes his only defense. Defense attorney Elena Morozova uncovers a logical impossibility in the prosecution's timeline that could set him free. But as the courtroom erupts with the shock of reversal, the reader is left alone with the chilling truth: Karst's inhuman self-discipline was never the mark of innocence—it was the instrument for a perfect crime, and the prelude to a much darker pathology.
