Body of a Crime — Michael C. Eberhardt

The murder charge against ex-pro athlete Chad Curtis is bizarre. There's no evidence that anyone was killed, but gorgeous ex-girlfriend, Robin, has vanished, posing a big problem for defense attorney Sean Barrett: with no corpus delicti, it will be very hard to prove his client didn't do it.

This sets Sean off on a search for evidence that leads him to a shattering discovery and threatens the case--and his life. This action-packed thriller crackles with excitement and intense courtroom drama right to its final, shocking twist.
