The Winter Verdict

Lawyer Tom Berte's bucolic new life is about to be shattered by a threat he can't ignore.

Tom Berte, a former Department of Justice lawyer, thought he'd left his past behind when he moved to Castle Ridge with his family. But when a brutal attack leaves him fighting for his life, Tom and his family find themselves at the epicenter of an unfolding conspiracy that stretches from the local ski resort to a desert compound on the other side of the world.

At the heart of the mystery is Phoenix Holdings Group, a shadowy international conglomerate with its sights set on Castle Ridge Ski Resort. When a catastrophic "accident" at the resort claims dozens of lives, Tom uncovers a chilling connection to his own assault and a ruthless plot that could endanger millions. With his wife and daughter's lives hanging in the balance, Tom must navigate a treacherous path of legal intrigue, corporate espionage, and looming revenge.

For fans of John Grisham and Michael Connelly, strap in for a heart-pounding legal thriller with The Winter Verdict--where the pursuit of justice is as precarious as a black diamond run.
