Trial by Fire Paul Reed Kirk

They were brother and sister, twins, inseparable since the moment of their birth. But for siblings Matthew and Catherine, the similarities ended there. For one, life has become a comfortable existence in the suburbs with a successful husband and luxurious home. The other was just released from prison for a crime, a murderous act of arson, which engulfed both of their adoptive parents in flame eighteen years ago.

Now, after spending almost half his life as a prisoner, Matthew is struggling to adjust to his newfound freedom. His only hope is to locate his twin sister and work through the repressed memories from so many years ago.

But when the killing of a local boy casts suspicion on Catherine herself, a second twin ends up on trial for murder. And as Matthew finds himself questioning his unreliable memory, new fears emerge: since he's killed before, could he be responsible for the crime that might put his sister away?

Penned by an experienced attorney, Trial by Fire, takes a realistic and thrilling look at the process of a criminal trial from the point of view of the accused-and delves into a shocking murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the end.
