Once Dismas Hardy was a cop. Now he
spends his days in a lawyer's suit, billing hours to a
corporate client in a downtown San Francisco office.
Hardy's wife and kids like it that way. Then one client
changes everything.
Compassion...
Graham
Russo, a former baseball star, is charged with murdering
his dying father. Was it suicide, the last desperate act
of a dying man? Was it murder? Or mercy?
Murder...
Now, as a carnival of reporters,
activists, cops, lovers, and families throng around the
case, Dismas Hardy is going to trial with a client he
doesn't trust, a key witness he cannot believe, and a
system that almost destroyed him once. For Dismas, this
case will challenge everything he believes about the law,
about his family, and about himself. Because a chilling
truth is beginning to emerge about an old man's lonely
death. And what Dismas knows could put him next in line to
die. . . .
