Barbara Holloway has a reputation for taking on the
toughest cases...and winning them. But this time she's up
against an unbeatable opponent — her father, the lawyer
who taught her all she knows.
Gus Marchand, a hardworking, God-fearing farmer, is found
dead on his kitchen floor, and suspicion soon falls on
Alex Feldman, Marchand's hideously deformed neighbor. At
the request of another attorney, Barbara agrees to defend
the young man, whom most of the town has already condemned.
But there is another suspect, as well: Hilde Franz, a
woman Gus had a very public altercation with just before
he was murdered. Hilde also happens to be an old friend of
Barbara's father, Frank, who, unaware of his daughter's
involvement in the case, agrees to represent Hilde.
For the first time in her career, Barbara cannot turn to
her father for advice. Quite the contrary: she has to stay
one step ahead of him if she's to have any hope of saving
her client. Because she knows only too well what kind of
legal mind she's up against.
