It is the worst possible case that Amanda Jaffe could be asked to take: a man facing Death Row for murder, who has just killed the one person who could have helped save his life. His lawyer.
The police have been trying to nail John Dupre for years. The spider at the centre of a web of drug dealing and prostitution, he's always been one alibi ahead of the law. But when the US senator and presidential candidate Harold Travis is discovered murdered - with one of Dupre's trademark earrings found at the scene - it seems that his luck might have finally run out. And when a one-to-one meeting with his legal representative Wendell Hyde ends up with the lawyer stabbed to death, the prime question is how the death penalty is going to be administered.
Amanda Jaffe is the only lawyer who'll represent Dupre. And when she begins to study the case, she soon understands why. For what she discovers is that Dupre has a lot of friends in both high places and low places - friends with deadly secrets to keep safe.
