In this second novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad
Meltzer, husband and wife face off in a legal thriller that poses the
most chilling question of all: How far would you go to save the one you
love?
Sara Tate, a Manhattan assistant DA, is on the brink of losing her job.
But then she takes a case that may be able to secure her future. Trouble
is, it's much more complicated--and deadly--than it initially appears.
While forces within her own office plot against her, an outside threat
takes things to another level: Win the case or her attorney husband,
Jared, will die. But Jared has received threats, too. Forced to defend
the opposition, he learns that, if he loses the case, Sara will be
killed. With everything on the line for both of them, husband and wife
battle it out--at court and at home--while maintaining the terrible
secret behind their motives. Caught in a struggle of rollercoaster
emotions and shocking betrayals, Jared and Sara must face the
unthinkable: No matter who wins, one of them may die.
