In Innocent Guilt Helen Meeker’s team takes on two very different cases. In Mississippi they set out to prove the innocence of a man who’d been executed fifteen years ago. Facing power wielded by a federal judge and a United States senator, it will take the words of a seemingly insane woman, a hidden diary, and two photographs to uncover a killer and clear the name of an innocent man.

Meanwhile in Chicago, a bank robbery not only gains a brutal gang with a two-hundred-thousand-dollar payoff, but a list containing the names of resistance fighters in Europe. With the D-Day invasion less than a month away, Helen Meeker, Teresa Bryant, and Napoleon Lancelot must retrieve that list before it falls into Hitler’s hands.

Innocent Guilt is a rapidly paced adventure taking readers to the rural south, Washington D.C., Beal Street, behind lines in Nazi Germany, and into the dark world of organized crime in Chicago. Meeker, Bryant, and Lancelot dodge death several times before solving a triple twist mystery that shocks a small town in Mississippi, stuns the Chicago police, and astounds the FBI.
