Long estranged from her blue-blooded New England family,
attorney Caroline Masters is summoned home to defend her
niece against charges of murder. Police found twenty-two-
year-old Brett Allen blood-splattered and incoherent near
the scene of the crime, the weapon covered with her
fingerprints.
Caroline has doubts of her own about Brett's innocence. But
as the sensational trial heats up, she'll find disturbing
inconsistencies in the testimony of the prosecution's star
witness and find herself facing some of the challenges of
her life and career--from trusting her former lover, state
prosecutor Jackson Watts, to risking the federal judgeship
she's worked her whole life for, to exposing a dark family
secret that could save her niece or destroy them both.
