Mark Dooher is a prosperous San Francisco attorney and a
prominent Catholic, the last person anyone would suspect
of a brutal crime. But Dooher, a paragon of success and a
master of all he touches, is about to be indicted for
murder.
Charged with savagely killing his own wife, Dooher is
fighting for his reputation and his life in a high-profile
case that is drawing dozens of lives into its wake--from
former spouses to former friends, from a beautiful, naive
young attorney to a defense lawyer whose own salvation
depends on getting his client off.
Now, as the trial builds to a crescendo, as evidence is
sifted and witnesses discredited, as a good cop tries to
pick up the pieces of his shattered life and a D.A. risks
her career, the truth about Mark Dooher is about to
explode. For in a trial that will change the lives of
everyone it touches, there is one thing that no one knows--
until it is much too late....
