Name: Dead center

After Laurie Collins leaves New Jersey for a life on the West Coast, former defense attorney Andy Carpenter is stunned to see her on TV pleading for help. Two coeds in Wisconsin are brutally stabbed to death, and Laurie, now the town's acting police chief, arrests a suspect with strong evidence against him. Andy travels from the industrial heart of Paterson to the frozen prairies of Findlay, where he must investigate the double homicide, the suspect’s romantic ties to the victims, and the possible involvement of an ultra‑religious cult that may have sanctioned the killings. Amid starks of crime, personal turmoil and an unrelenting search for truth, Andy navigates deceit, legal maneuvers and unexpected twists to seek justice for the victims.
