The Sleeping Beauty Killer
Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion team are back, and this time they're working to exonerate Casey Carter, who Laurie believes was wrongly convicted of murdering her fiance-famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III-fifteen years ago.
Casey's story takes the show into new territory: though Hunter's murder was solved when Casey was charged, and though Casey was convicted and has served her sentence, Casey finds that she is still living under suspicion. She hears whispers at the grocery store. She can't get a job. Even her own mother treats her like she's guilty. And Casey claims she's innocent.
Going on Under Suspicion is her last chance to finally clear her name. With Alex Buckley taking a break from the show-cooling his potential romance with Laurie-Under Suspicion introduces a new on-air host in Ryan Nichols, a hot shot legal whiz with a Harvard Law degree, Supreme Court clerkship, experience as a federal prosecutor, and regular stints on the cable news circuit, all by age thirty-four. He's got a big reputation and the attitude to match it, but Laurie suspects he's all bark and no bite. Ryan has no problems with steering-and stealing-the show, and even tries to stop Laurie from taking on Casey's case because he's so certain she's guilty. An egomaniacal new boss, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt (and a surprising informant), and Casey's longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, to once and for all prove Casey's innocence-that is, if she's innocent...

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
