A reoccurring murder, a 30-year-old disappearance, and past and present crimes colliding! Attorney Sabre Brown faces her most puzzling case yet when her young client, Maverick, insists he witnessed a brutal murder—despite the absence of a body and any evidence at the crime scene. While the police dismiss Maverick's claims, Sabre takes him seriously, until he reports seeing the same crime again. Worried about the boy’s mental health, Sabre and her investigator, JP Torn, question friends, family, and neighbors—and are stunned to learn that thirty years earlier a woman disappeared from the exact same place Maverick witnessed the phantom murders. When security footage reveals mysterious lights and ghostly images in that location, they dig even deeper into the powerful Callahan family connected to the missing woman. But when the threats begin, and their sole witness is murdered, it’s clear someone is determined to keep their dark past hidden. With the case growing more treacherous and JP encountering dead-ends, Sabre faces the daunting task of clearing Maverick's name as he is charged with making false police reports. Just when hope seems lost, shocking new evidence surfaces. But can they uncover all the buried secrets in time to protect their new witness and save a young boy from wrongful conviction? The Advocate's Phantom is Book 16 of The Advocate Series. Join Sabre and JP as they solve the mystery of the phantom crime.
