Author Stuart Gorman came home from a weekend alone at his cabin on the Lake to find his wife, Dr. Caryn Dryden, floating dead in her hot tub. With the recent tensions in their marriage and millions in insurance money involved, he becomes homicide inspector Devin Juhle's (Hunt Club) prime suspect.

Gina Roake, a partner in Dismas Hardy’s firm, is eager to take on such a high-profile case. Soon, Gina has feelings for her client and is beginning to wonder if there is a dark secret in his past. She calls in Private Investigator Wyatt Hunt (Hunt Club) to help her investigate. Stuart, having already been tried in the press, is on the run.

The Suspect brings together two series, but the featured character is Gina Roake.
