First introduced in the bestselling thriller Special Circumstances, the savvy legal team of Mike Daley and Rosie Fernandez is facing a new and high-profile case. The client is none other than the arrogant and ambitious district attorney of San Francisco, who's been found dazed and incoherent in a hotel room with a dead body of a young male prostitute spread-eagle on the bed. It's typical of this unconventional pair that they are contending with a client they dislike, evidence that clearly implicates him, and an array of powerbrokers ready to cover their own questionable activities that may -- or may not -- be connected with the victim.
Moving from jail cell to courtroom, from the mansions of the San Francisco hills to the seedy streets of the Mission District, Daley and Fernandez find deception around every corner, and danger that mounts with each new revelation. But that's nothing compared to the tension they'll find once they get to the courtroom!...if they can uncover what really happened in time.
In the big-league tradition of Turow and Grisham, Sheldon
