A powerful corporation. A legal system bought and paid for. A prosecutor willing to risk everything for justice.
In a courthouse hallway, Assistant District Attorney Jessie Black runs into an old law school friend. Jessie is excited to catch up with Kelly . . . until she realizes the lawyer is terrified.
Kelly is representing grieving parents against a large corporation whose failure to meet safety standards caused a child's death. The company stands to lose a lot of money, and Kelly fears someone is following her, watching her, and preparing to harm her. But without an actual threat, the police won't help. Jessie offers to talk to her friends in the police department to try to get Kelly some protection, at least temporarily.
But that night, Kelly is found dead in what looks like a random car accident.
Now, Jessie must prove Kelly's accident was actually a murder, find the killer, and protect the grief-stricken parents from a corporation willing to do anything to silence them. But can she succeed against a corrupt judicial system, an indifferent police force, and a bloodthirsty killer? Or will her fight for justice cost her everything?
