Short Book Description
The Perfect Alibi
by James W. Pickett
When celebrated defense attorney Dorian Mercer is called to a detention facility in the middle of the night, he expects another high-profile criminal case.
What he finds instead is Julian Vance—a brilliant tech billionaire accused of murdering a powerful city planner… with an alibi no courtroom should be able to break.
At the exact time of the murder, Julian was sealed inside a cutting-edge neurological research facility, his every heartbeat, brainwave, and breath recorded in real time.
The evidence is flawless.
The timeline is impossible.
And yet someone is dead.
As Dorian digs deeper into encrypted data, altered memories, and the dark architecture behind a seemingly perfect defense, he begins to uncover a terrifying possibility: the truth itself may have been engineered.
In a city built on power, reputation, and secrets, proving innocence may be more dangerous than proving guilt.
How do you defend a man whose alibi is perfect—when perfection is the first sign that something is wrong?
