"In the bestselling tradition of Lisa Scottoline and Perri O'Shaughnessy"
"When a powerful software entrepreneur is brutally slain, it appears as if Atlanta Assistant District Attorney Laura Chastain is looking at an open-and-shut capital punishment case. The savagely battered corpse was discovered on the victim's own car trunk, with career criminal Roland Jervis at the wheel. Infuriated by the opposing counsel's ineptitude, Laura begins to review the evidence against Jervis--and uncovers gaping holes.

Now she must decide whether to forge ahead with the prosecution of a possibly innocent man--or to take a radical step that could be her last..."
