Summary

Christopher Paget is a trial lawyer with a famous past. As a young investigator he brought down a president. It cost him his relationship with Mary Carelli. Fifteen years have passed while Paget raises their son, seeking privacy. Until a murder changes everything.

Now a television journalist, Mary is charged in an eminent novelist's death. Her defense is attempted rape, and she wants Paget to defend her. But a fateful question remains: was it self-defense...or murder?

A US Court drama. Sounds dull but it is keeps the listener interested. It was not the ending I expected.

Gripping book

This book delivered in so many ways, first the characters were human flawed but decent. All characters had good and bad in them which was brought out during this tense and unpredictable novel.

I will be getting more in this series.
