Poisoned

The idyllic Cleveland suburb of Brighthill is hiding something beneath its green lawns and quiet streets. Dozens of children have developed cancer. No one knows why—until attorney Justin McPhee discovers what may be poisoning the town’s water.

The families want answers. Justin wants justice. And the class action he builds could bring one of Cuyahoga County’s most powerful companies to its knees.

It could also make him very, very rich.

For Casey Cort, the case arrives just as the past she thought she’d buried comes roaring back. One man destroyed her life. Another nearly destroyed her career. Now both threaten everything she has left.

Casey needs a win. Justin may be her best chance of getting one. But when justice, revenge, and millions of dollars collide, everyone has something to lose.

Poisoned is a gripping legal thriller about corporate power, contaminated water, and the dangerous distance between doing good and doing well.
