Book Description

A prosecutor is accused of murder in this legal thriller from the New York Times-bestselling author of the Suspicion series (The New York Times Book Review).

Not long ago, Dan Galindo was a rising federal prosecutor in Miami with everything he could have wanted. Then he made the mistake of having a conscience. He refused to put a lying witness on the stand, which led to a drug kingpin walking free—and the end of his job and his marriage. Now with his reputation in ruins, he’s barely scraping by in a fleabag office.

Then his ex-brother-in-law, a music promoter, approaches him with a can’t-miss case: defending a gorgeous rock singer accused of assaulting a cop. It’s a simple job for good money.

But Dan is about to learn there’s no such thing as a simple job. Dragged into a sordid world of money laundering, dirty cops, and corrupt federal agents, he’s soon accused of murder, running for his life—and willing to do anything to get out of it alive.

A former prosecutor herself and the New York Times-bestselling author of the Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana legal thrillers, Barbara Parker “has produced a suspense story rich in detail about drugs, rock music, and vengeful and ruthless Federal cops . . . in Dan Galindo she has created a highly believable hero” (The New York Times Book Review).
