For smart, tough Miami criminal lawyer Jack Swyteck, it
was a golden opportunity to help out his beautiful
ex-girlfriend Jessie Merrill, who sold her life insurance
for a cash payment when she wrongly believed she was dying.
Now, thanks to Jack's courtroom prowess, Jessie can keep the
$1.5 million she received. But it turns out that Swyteck and
the insurance company are both victims of a gorgeous scam
artist. And when Jessie's lifeless corpse is discovered in
his bathtub, the attorney is suddenly wanted for murder.
Framed and desperate -- on the run from the police and a
powerful criminal consortium willing to go to any lengths to
retrieve the money -- Jack must exhume the dark secrets of a
buried past to save his freedom, his career, and his life.
But even his unique legal skills cannot keep him out of the
murderous sights of a cold killer -- one who wants Jack
Swyteck's blood . . . and is beyond suspicion.
