"An edgy tale, full of surprises."--USA Today
When attorney Jack Newlin discovers his wife dead in their home, he's
convinced he knows who killed her--and is equally determined to hide the
truth. He decides to frame himself for murder, and to seal his fate he
hires the most inexperienced lawyer he can find: a reluctant rookie by
the name of Mary DiNunzio from the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato &
Associates.
But hiring Mary may turn out to be his biggest mistake. She doubts
Jack's confession, and her ethics and instincts tell her she can't
defend a man who wants to convict himself. Smarter, gutsier, and more
persistent than she has any right to be, Mary sets out to prove what
really happened--because, as any lawyer knows, a case is never as simple
as it seems. And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of
truth.
