With no strong evidence, attorney Barbara Holloway's legal
instincts are all she has. If they can't lead her to the
truth, her client will die. But if she succeeds, her own
life will be on the line.
Controversial author and
scholar David Etheridge is not the kind of company an
aspiring politician wants to keep. But ambitious state
senator Robert McCrutchen has a history with Etheridge—a
history he's desperately trying to keep under wraps.
Twenty-two years ago, while attending the University of
Oregon, both men were investigated in the death of a young
coed, but the case was never solved. A circle of secrecy
guaranteed it. But the old stories resurface when Etheridge
returns to Eugene, Oregon. Tied to their past, McCrutchen
is his grudging host—until the senator is found shot dead.
Now Etheridge is back where he was more than two decades
ago—suspected of murder. Only this time, with the cold case
reopened, he's facing a double charge. And Etheridge might
not be so lucky again.
Barbara must battle the
prosecution and the court of public opinion, which has
already tried and convicted Etheridge for both murders. As
the pressure mounts, Barbara ties the past and present
together, risking her own life to protect a client and
preserve justice.
