Resumen del Editor

A lawyer's race to reveal a wrongful conviction collides with the dark shadow of a murder in his own home in this propulsive and perfectly-plotted thriller from award-winning writer Allen Eskens.

When Boady Sanden first receives the case of Elijah Matthews, he’s certain there’s not much he can do. Elijah, who believes himself to be a prophet, has been locked up in a psychiatric hospital for the past four years, convicted of brutally murdering the pastor of a megachurch. But as a law professor working for the Innocence Project, Boady agrees to look into Elijah’s file. When he does, he is alarmed to find threads that lead back to the death of his colleague and friend, Ben Pruitt, a man shot to death four years earlier in Boady’s own home.

Ben’s daughter, Emma, has lived with Boady and Boady’s wife Dee ever since that awful night. Now fourteen years old, Emma has been growing distant, and soon makes a fateful choice that takes her far from the safety of her godparents. Desperate to bring her home, and to free an innocent man, Boady must do all he can to investigate Elijah’s case while fighting to save the family he has deeply come to love.

Written with energy, propulsion, and his characteristic pathos and insight, Eskens delivers another pitch-perfect legal thriller that reveals a twisted murder and explores faith, love, family, and redemption along the way.

The best of the best

Everything about an Allen Eskens novel is beyond amazing. I love how one book continues into the next. It is a sit at the edge of your seat at every chapter. This book was like reading 2 for one and how they joined together in the end. I love the narrators, easy to listen too and being able to follow along with each individual character. Mr. Eskens books are a be 10 out of 10 for me.

Fantastic!!

I highly recommend this book! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. I have a new favorite author!

SO GOOD

Loved this story from beginning to end. Love it when a book makes it so you can’t put it down.

Great characters great narrator

Two stories woven into a fabulous story. Likable characters and great narrator make this book a fun fast read.

Good solid mystery

Main narrator is outstanding. Very expressive and easy to listen to. Good writing - at times predictable but still it’s hard to turn it off. Really enjoyed this book.

Another Great Story!

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series! It is worth trying this author.

wonderful

I wasn't sure about this book, but it didn't take long before I was listening nonstop. I thought at one point I had it figured out! But it all came together beautifully! Can't wait for my next read by Mr Eskens.

Another good one from Eskens

I've read/listened to all of his books. I like how the characters are flawed but real and someone I care about.

So happy to find Eskens!

Saving Emma is a slight departure from Eskens’ grittier offerings. This story carries the reader along the emotional trail of a man on the precipice of change he doesn’t see coming. Exciting, enthralling, and compelling. Highly recommend Saving Emma.
