Ricochet

Detective Sergeant Duncan Hatcher is called to the luxurious New Orleans home of powerful Judge Cato Laird in the dead of night, where a fatal shooting has occurred. The judge's stunning and composed wife, Elise, claims she interrupted a burglary and killed the intruder in self-defense. While the case appears open-and-shut, Hatcher's seasoned intuition immediately senses a deeper, unsettling truth lurking beneath Elise's innocent facade. He suspects her account is only partially true, and the omitted details haunt him. As Hatcher delves deeper, the investigation becomes perilously complex, threatening his career and personal integrity. He finds himself battling an undeniable and illicit attraction to Elise—a woman who is not only married and a potential murder suspect but also a proven liar. Navigating a treacherous landscape of deceit, judicial influence, and his own conflicting desires, Hatcher must unearth the true events of that night, even if it means jeopardizing everything he holds dear. "Ricochet" is a thrilling tale of dangerous secrets, moral compromise, and the explosive consequences when justice and desire collide.
