Lion & Lamb

A gruesome murder. Two sides. One truth.




A gruesome murder. Two sides. One truth. Gripping investigative drama perfect for fans of Michael Connelly.

There are two sides to every story.

Husband and wife Archie and Francine Hughes are heroes in their hometown of Philadelphia. Archie is a football star, while Francine is a Grammy-winning singer.

So everyone is in a state of shock when news breaks about the seemingly perfect couple.

One spouse is murdered. The other is Suspect Number One.

Even before the case hits the courtroom, it's the hottest ticket in town. For the defence: Cooper Lamb, private investigator to the stars. For the prosecution: Veena Lion, an attorney so bright she's got to wear shades.

Between them, they know every secret in the Hughes household. Together, they prove how two wrongs can make a right.
