Ricardo Arias is found dead, the gun still wedged in his
mouth. It looks like suicide, but the physical evidence
strongly suggests murder. The police investigation uncovers
an estranged wife, Terri Peralta; an ugly custody battle
over their six-year-old daughter, Elena; heated charges of
child abuse; and a murder suspect: San Francisco defense
attorney Christopher Paget.
Paget has motive--it's his son accused of abusing Elena,
his political plans for the future put at risk by the dead
man's accusations, and his alibi that is dangerously
threadbare.
And the shocking revelations that threaten to explode in
the courtroom may remain hidden forever...by Chris Paget's
refusal to testify on his own behalf...by Elena's tangled
loyalties...and by dark secrets that some desperately wish
to keep silent....
