"In Tulsa, Ben Kincaid has built a national reputation as
a stalwart defense attorney who will fight tirelessly for
his clients. In Evanston, Illinois, Johnny Christensen has
built a national reputation as a sadistic bigot who beat
and stabbed a gay man and left him to die. When Johnny's
mother comes to Ben and begs him to defend her son, he has
one secret reason for saying no." "But while Ben turns
down the case, his younger beautiful partner, Christina
McCall, does not. Traveling to Chicago and facing an
explosion of controversy and deadly violence surrounding
the trial, Christina steps into a case that is already
nearly lost. Her client's only defense is his claim that
he left his victim bludgeoned but alive. To prove that
someone else committed the actual murder, Christina needs
a little bit of evidence - and a good motive to go with
it." When unforeseen circumstances force Ben Kincaid to
enter the trial, the defense attorney sees only one way to
prove Johnny's innocence. But Ben's plan means luring a
killer out of the woodwork - even though he may kill
again.
