A mesmerizing tale of deceit and criminal stealth from Phillip Margolin,
the New York Times bestselling master of the courtroom thriller.
Daniel Ames is an associate at Reed, Briggs, Portland's most prestigious
law firm, earning more money than he ever imagined possible.
When a charismatic civil litigator sues the firm's biggest client for
manufacturing a drug that he claims causes unspeakable birth defects,
Daniel is certain the claim has no merit. But as he begins to
investigate, his world comes tumbling down around him. His work is
sabotaged, he's accused of professional incompetence, and he's fired.
Twelve hours later he is arrested for murder.
Daniel scrambles to clear his name and save his reputation--and in the
process unearths a trail of deceit. But someone doesn't want this trail
explored, and Daniel becomes the target of a vicious killer who will
stop at nothing to prevent the truth from being revealed.
