Framed: A Thriller

She's taking on Big Oil. But when her star witness is arrested for bank robbery, the fight for justice becomes a battle for survival.

Environmental attorney Jo Turner is building the case of a lifetime, suing World Petrol, one of the country's largest refineries, for toxic emissions linked to rising cancer rates along the Houston Ship Channel. Her crucial evidence comes from Dr. Tori Nelson, a respected physician and Jo's college crush, whose research exposes devastating community health impacts.

But just as the lawsuit gains momentum, Tori is arrested for a shocking, high-profile bank robbery. Jo knows it's a setup. Someone is trying to silence Tori to bury the findings that could bring World Petrol down.

As Jo races to prove Tori’s innocence, she uncovers a chilling conspiracy that reaches deeper than she imagined. With Tori's freedom, career, and the lives of an entire community at stake, Jo has a choice: walk away or risk everything.

She's never been good at walking away.

Twists & Turns

This was a pretty good book albeit a little older (1985) despite being just released in 2026. Author was very knowledgeable on the subject matter and the subject matter details made the story very believable. I love Abby Craden so the narration was spectacular! Overall good story and entertaining.
