Although he appears to have reached the top, Dismas Hardy, rainmaker and managing partner of his thriving San Francisco law firm, has lost his faith in the justice system. When his young associate Amy Wu brings in a high profile, controversial double murder case, he decides to sit second chair--in defense of a wealthy, privileged young man even he has trouble believing.
At the same time, Hardy's friend Abe Glitsky has just been promoted to deputy chief of the Investigations Bureau, and has trouble of his own. Hounded by a hostile media, distanced from day-to-day police work, Glitsky must struggle against a wave of violence that has put the city on the verge of panic.
As the tensions build around them, Hardy and Amy's search for the truth will take them down a perilous path and force Hardy to face his own demons in order to clear his client--and save himself.
