Nothing but the Truth: A propulsive and timely thriller about murder, prejudice, and police corruption

Fans of The Good Wife and Anatomy of a Scandal will devour this edgy page-turner, as Erin McCabe discovers that getting to the truth can be deadly...

New Jersey State Trooper Jon Mazer has been charged with killing Black investigative reporter Stewart Marshall in a racially charged, headline-making murder. The evidence against criminal defense attorney Erin McCabe's new client is overwhelming. The gun used is Mazer's off-duty weapon. Fingerprints and carpet fibers link Mazer to the crime. And Mazer was patrolling Marshall's neighborhood shortly before the victim took three bullets to the chest. Mazer's argument? He's a gay officer being set up to take the fall in an even bigger story.

Mazer swears he was a secret source for Marshall's exposé about the Lords of Discipline. The covert gang operating within the New Jersey State Police is notorious for enforcing their own code of harassing women, framing minorities, and out-powering any troopers who don't play their rogue and racist games. With everyone from the governor to the county prosecutor on the wrong side of justice, Erin and her partner, Duane Swisher, are prepared to do anything to make sure Mazer doesn't become another victim.

As Erin deals with an intensely personal issue at home, and faces an uphill battle to prove her client's innocence, both she and Duane find themselves mired in a conspiracy of corruption deeper than they imagined - and far more dangerous than they feared.

A propulsive and timely thriller about murder, prejudice, and police corruption, perfect for fans of J.A. Jance, Scott Turow, Lisa Unger, and Renee James.

'Gigl writes crackling courtroom scenes and ratchets up the suspense with every chapter, but the depth with which she renders Erin, her love for (and complicated relationships with) her family and friends, is what sticks with me. The personal is political, especially now, but character and humanity are what propel this series to continued excellence' - New York Times (The Best Crime Novels of 2024)

'Gigl's courtroom scenes are terrific and are adroitly interwoven with a less public legal process in which Erin - a trans woman who wants to be registered as her child's mother - navigates a path to parenthood on her terms' - Sunday Times

'Powerfully written and completely immersive, this revealing (and heartbreaking) legal thriller had me absolutely hooked. Compelling, twisty, and utterly life-changing.
