Adrift

In her dramatic debut, author K.T. Konkoly delivers a bold legal thriller following a tough young lawyer who leaves her thriving practice in New York City behind when a family crisis calls her home.

Kari Sharpe never expected to return to Maine. Law school and the Navy JAG Corps pulled her out of the dead-end Maine promised for her future. But Kari's past turns out to be hard to escape. When her last living relative spirals out of control, Kari gives up everything to save him.

Leaving her position as partner in a prestigious Manhattan law firm, Kari struggles to build a new law practice in Maine. Unfortunately, her name means nothing in Portland-nothing good. The Sharpe family curse is a shackle she can't shake as she grapples with her brother's addiction.

When a string of brutal murders rocks the coastal city, Kari is called upon by the navy for help. A sailor stationed on board a newly built ship at the famed Bath Iron Works shipyard is accused of murdering a local woman. The city is up in arms, demanding the sailor's conviction. Adding fuel to the fire, her client is the son of Somali immigrants. Kari digs in for the fight of her life to prove he's innocent...and deliver justice. Now she doesn't know if she will ever leave Maine.
