Synopsis

A prosecutor torn between justice and loyalty. A cage fighter with a score to settle. And an innocent man desperate to clear his name.

When interim District Attorney Jessie Black's friend and mentor is accused of a nightmarish crime, she knows he's innocent. Jesus Rivera is a good man, a lawyer who's guided her throughout her career. But without proof, her hands are tied. She can't intervene without breaking the trust of the city that appointed her.

But Jessie can't let it go—and her detective husband Mark Leary is right there with her.

The deeper they dig, the more deadly the situation becomes. They uncover blackmail, murder, and a vicious Philly crime family bent on Rivera's downfall. But it's when they encounter the wildcard that is Hannah O'Sullivan—a fierce mixed martial artist with rage issues and an enigmatic link to the case—that things really go off the rails.

With betrayals around every corner and the clock ticking on Rivera's trial, Jessie and Leary race to find the truth. But at what cost? Will their loyalty to a friend destroy everything they've worked for? Or will justice prevail?

About Larry A. Winters

Larry A. Winters's stories feature a rogue's gallery of brilliant lawyers, avenging porn stars, determined cops, undercover FBI agents, and vicious bad guys of all sorts. When not writing, he can be found living a life of excitement. Not really, but he does know a good time when he sees one: reading a book by the fireplace on a cold evening, catching a rare movie night with his wife (when a friend or family member can be coerced into babysitting duty), smart TV dramas (and dumb TV comedies), vacations (those that involve reading on the beach, a lot of eating, and not a lot else), cardio on an elliptical trainer (generally beginning upon his return from said vacations, and quickly tapering off), video games (even though he stinks at them), and stockpiling gadgets (with a particular weakness for tablets and ereaders). He also has a healthy obsession with Star Wars.

Superb historical fiction. A thrilling tale of a horrific campaign. The narrative is so good and the story so well told that one can almost feel the heat, taste the dust and gunpowder.
