From the USA Today-bestselling author of the Karen Vail series, a surgeon charged with double homicide is out to clear his name in this debut thriller.

Phillip Madison has everything--wealth, power, and an impeccable reputation. But in the pre-dawn quiet of an upscale California suburb, the revered orthopedic surgeon is arrested for double homicide, accused of a cold-blooded hit-and-run that left a young couple dead. Blood evidence leads police to his door. An eyewitness places him at the scene. And Madison has no alibi.

As his world collapses--family fractured, career in ruins, friends vanishing one by one--Madison turns to a private investigator to uncover who engineered the case against him. Because someone did. Someone who knows exactly how to destroy a man like Phillip Madison.

His only hope for vindication lies in exposing a truth buried at the heart of a lie . . . a revelation that could cost him far more than his freedom.

False Accusations is the psychological thriller that became a national bestseller and launched Alan Jacobson's career--prompting CNN to hail him as "one of the brightest stars in the publishing industry."
