Synopsis

Laura Holland awakes in the middle of the night to see a stranger standing in her bedroom doorway. She manages to defend herself from the would-be rapist, though he threatens to return as he retreats. Traumatized with recurring nightmares, Laura seeks therapy and is exposed to a unique treatment called EMDR. She also seeks self-protection— buying a gun against the wishes of her husband. When Laura learns she could have gone to prison had she shot her fleeing assailant, she decides to write a hypothetical legal case using the details of that night. She enlists the help of criminal defense lawyer, Thomas Bennett, who proves to be well versed in the justice system but has an uncanny resemblance to her attacker. As the two work together to develop the story, Laura’s discomfort escalates particularly when Thomas seems to know more about that night than he should. Reality and fiction soon merge as her real life drama begins to mirror the fiction she’s trying to create.

À propos de l'auteur

Liz Lazarus was born in Valdosta, Georgia. Her grandfather, James B. Garfield, authored several books, the most famous being Follow My Leader, first published in 1957 with movie rights purchased by Disney. Lazarus followed in her father’s footsteps attending The Georgia Institute of Technology, majoring in engineering. Upon graduating, she spent her career working for General Electric’s Healthcare division, which allowed her the chance to travel the world. She later attended the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, earning an MBA in their executive master’s program. After nine moves in 20 years with GE, Lazarus returned home to Georgia, began consulting and checked a few things off of her bucket list: getting her pilot’s license, co-producing a music CD with her best friend, and finishing her debut novel. Lazarus clearly has writing in her blood as evidenced in her psychological, legal thriller, Free of Malice.
