When Martina accuses her ex-boyfriend - the son of a powerful local
judge - of assault and battery, no witnesses can be persuaded to testify
on her behalf. Guido Guerrieri knows the case could bring his legal
career to a premature and messy end, but he cannot resist the appeal of
a hopeless cause. Nor can he deny his attraction to Sister Claudia, the
young woman in charge of the shelter where Martina is living, who shares
his love of martial arts and his virulent hatred of injustice.
