✦ Synopsis

“A richly layered protagonist, witty dialogue, and a superbly crafted plot with serpentine twists and a perfectly executed, jaw-dropping finale elevate The Blow-Up to the stratosphere of crime fiction,” Paul Levine, author of the bestselling Jake Lassiter legal thrillers.
Criminal defense attorney Caron Mooney's life is blown apart when her Hampton's home is destroyed in a gas explosion...and the naked bodies of her husband Jason and a woman identified as Emma Shipman are found in the smoking rubble. It's obvious that Jason was having an affair, a revelation that only deepens Caron's heartbreak and confusion. Evidence at the scene soon points to murder and to Emma's spouse Neil as the killer. But Neil proclaims his innocence and Caron, who shares his sense of loss and betrayal, shocks everyone by agreeing to defend him. Her relentless investigation and courtroom brilliance exposes dark, sexual obsessions and long buried secrets, leading to an explosive twist and a stunning, final reckoning that changes everything.
