Sharing with you an excerpt from Chapter 3 of my latest release, Found Innocent (A Madison Knight Novel) : The shallow grave was in a garden that lined the property’s perimeter. The remains were on a black tarp to the side of the hole. Richards was braced beside the vic’s head. Madison addressed him. “Higgins said it was a gunshot to the head that may be the cause of death.” Richards looked up at her long enough to communicate his disgust that an officer would make that judgment. “I haven’t concluded yet.” Normally Richards’s personality accommodated for some small talk and lightheartedness. Today he didn’t seem to be his normal self, although, Madison realized her approach could be what had changed the outcome. She had managed to insult his profession—something she had had no intention of doing. “How long do you think she’s been in there?” She remembered Higgins had mentioned Richards’s assessment, but she would hear it firsthand. Richards rose to his feet ...

Since it's less than 10 days from its official release date, I thought I'd share an excerpt from  FOUND INNOCENT (A Madison Knight Novel) . Here is the book's overview:  There's one code when it comes to the wall of blue…and Madison Knight may have to cross it. Any good cop knows you never report a brother for mishandling a case or accuse him of misconduct, but in order to find justice, Madison may not have a choice. Lacy Rose had one goal for her twentieth birthday—to be found innocent of past sins—but her life is cut short. When Lacy's remains are found in a garden and the investigation becomes connected to a closed case, Madison must face her past. The lead detective on that case was Madison's ex-fiancé. At the risk of jeopardizing departmental relationships, and churning up the attention of an old flame at the same time, Madison must push hard before the guilty are found innocent. Excerpt from Chapter 1: “He didn’t do it!” The hy...
