"Arthur Hightower made a name for himself and a vast
fortune in the oil business. But when the volatile tycoon
decides to disinherit his spoiled children and cheating
wife, he makes the biggest mistake of his life - and the
last. After declaring his intentions, Hightower turns up
on Thanksgiving Day...clubbed to death and stuffed in a
meat locker, clutching a frozen asset - his wife's
precious pearl necklace. Now Julia Hightower stands
charged with the cold-as-ice crime of murdering for
millions. While the sensational trial has New York in a
frenzy, a curious cast of characters face off in and out
of the courtroom." Devin McGee, a small-time lawyer about
to hit the big-time defending Julia Hightower - if her
intimate encounter with the prosecutor doesn't catch up
with her...Trent Ballard, the quirky assistant D.A., who
owns a huge pet rabbit and thinks his tryst with Devin
will help him get a conviction...Patrick Roswell, a
wannabe reporter sitting on a scoop that could turn the
trial upside-down, unless a scalpel-wielding clown decides
to kill the story - and Patrick... Sissy Hightower,
Julia's sex-crazed, airheaded daughter-in-law, who has a
suitcase full of secrets...Robert S. Rutledge, a powerful
Wall Street warrior with a lot riding on the Hightower
verdict - and a lot to learn about messing with the wrong
people...and Cordelia, the mystery woman that everyone
seems to know.
