Last Witness

'Like Patterson or Cornwell, Hoffman creates vivid, engrossing crime investigations' Time Out *** EVIL SEES YOU Two years ago William Bantling was put on death row by Florida's Assistant State Attorney, CJ Townsend - for the torture and murder of eleven young women. EVIL HEARS YOU Now three cops crucial to Bantling's conviction have been brutally slain. CJ knew them all - and the shocking secret they took to their graves. EVIL KNOWS YOU But it's clear that somebody else also knows the truth - though their reasons for wanting it kept quiet are very different to CJ's. Which leaves her with a terrifying choice: reveal the secret she swore to keep and stay alive - or be its last witness, and the next to die . . . *** Praise for Jillian Hoffman: 'Intensely readable' Guardian 'Grim and gripping' Crimespree 'Writes like an angel' Independent on Sunday 'Hugely readable' Daily Mirror Jilliane Hoffman was an Assistiant State Attorney between 1992 and 1996.
