Alastair Finch, 2026

Confession and Consequence: A Novel of Power, Proof, and Peril When county public defender Evan Mercer takes a routine postconviction petition, he expects paperwork and a quiet hearing — not a disk that reopens a decadeold murder and points to a multinational's poison. Tommy Gage has always said his confession was coerced. New toxicology, missing lab reports, and redacted prosecutor files suggest he may have been railroaded to protect a bigger truth: the town's richest investor, the Renshaw family, and Alder & Co., whose new waterprocessing plant brought jobs — and a string of secrets. As Evan forces discovery, he draws fire from powerful men who measure civic duty in donations. Witnesses vanish, evidence is tampered with, and a whistleblower pays the price for speaking out. With the judge watching, jurors frightened, and the entire county's economy on the line, Evan must decide how far he'll go to lift the stone of silence — and what he's willing to lose to do it. A propulsive legal thriller of smalltown loyalties, corporate coverups, and the cost of seeking justice.
