Finalist for the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction.
A ruthless lawyer cross-examines his life after a guilty client walks
free in this sharp legal thriller from the bestselling author of The
Neon Lawyer.
Ruthless defense attorney Tatum Graham has been living large in Miami,
but when his recently acquitted client claims another victim, Tatum has
a crisis of conscience. Disillusioned, he heads to his small Utah
hometown for a simpler life...but that's not what he finds.
Soon after he arrives, Tatum's childhood crush offers him a job at the
county attorney's office and assigns him a murder case. The victim is a
teenage girl not unlike the victim in the last case he tried. Now a
prosecutor, Tatum sees a chance for redemption, but politics,
corruption, and a killer defense threaten to thwart justice.
To complicate matters, Tatum's estranged father has terminal cancer, and
the time to reconcile is running out. Tatum moved to Utah to find
clarity, but his thoughts swirl with old feelings and present dangers.
As the case heats up, so does the risk, threatening to adjourn Tatum's
new life before it begins.
