A Measured Fall
Ashworth & Associates, Caldmere
A competing attorney is found at the base of the Ashworth firm's interior staircase — his neck broken, the scene arranged to suggest a stumble. But the angles don't match a trip, and one detail can't be explained away.
Everyone has something to hide.
Evelyn's son. Has his mother's intelligence but none of her patience. Competent but not exceptional, and increasingly frustrated by the gap.
The night shift belongs to Aggie. Twenty-eight years at St. Clair. A named beneficiary in the Marsh estate dispute — a detail that put her uncomfortably close to Hale's business, and closer still to the firm that Friday night.
Sharp and methodical, with a grudge she rarely mentions. Her brief internship at Hale Legal Group ended badly — Hale cut the cohort loose without notice. She's worked for Ashworth's pro bono team ever since.
