This gripping legal thriller tells the story of a high-profile murder trial in which the defendant claims self-defense, but the prosecution accuses him of cold-blooded murder. The novel explores the legal, ethical, and emotional complexities of criminal justice, as well as the personal struggles of the lawyers, witnesses, and jurors involved in the case. Murtagh and Harris are both experienced criminal attorneys, and their knowledge of the law and the courtroom shines through in this fast-paced and engaging novel.
