District Attorney Laura Chastain has just been handed a case that will take her to a wealthy Atlanta neighborhood, where million-dollar homes and cloistered country clubs hide a chilling conspiracy. A young mother has been brutally murdered, and all evidence points to a robbery gone wrong.

And with the clock ticking, Laura's in the race of her life to find the one witness who holds the key to putting a madman away--before that witness is silenced forever...
