Phelan Tierney sees his mission in life as coming to the aid of the
lost, the broken, the despised. This reputation as the justice system's
St. Jude compels a woman named Marcheline Whalen to seek him out and ask
for his help. Her brother - an Iraq War vet - stands accused of killing
a cop. Not just any cop - the most widely respected and deeply loved
officer on the local force. What Phelan learns, and what he's obliged to
do, will reshape his notions of justice, honor, and compassion forever.
