Publisher's summary

Jessie Black's successful prosecution of a serial murderer and rapist put her on the path to stardom at the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office. Public defender Jack Ackerman represented the opposition, and his spectacular public breakdown after the trial put him in a mental institution and gave Frank Ramsey a second chance at freedom.

When Ramsey petitions the court for a new trial with a claim that Ackerman was ineffective, Black must step up to defend him. To keep a convicted killer off the streets, she'll need to prove Ackerman's sanity - a fact she's far from sure of. As she prepares for trial, powerful forces conspire to put Ramsey back on the streets.

Black has one chance to keep Ramsey behind bars, and it'll be the toughest fight of her career.

Really enjoyed this book!

Xe Sands is one of my favorite performers.
This story as just the right mix of suspense, misdirection and humor.

Good listen

I enjoy listening to the narrator XE Sands, so much so that I went looking to find books she narrated. Came upon this one, I’ve never read anything from this author but it had a good pace, storyline and suspense.

Loved It

Wow...Xe was so mesmerizing! Her narration was remarkable as ever! Although the story started out slow, it kept me listening, then as the story unfolded, it kept me engaged and stunned a bit with the twist n turns. Worth the listen!

An enjoyable court drama

This book was thrilling and intense without being overly gory. An enjoyable court drama. The romance was simple and did nothing to interfere with the story. It was refreshing to be able to get lost in the story line without being nervous of soft core porn style explicit sex interrupting the flow. Some of the plot was predictable but author did an okay job of twisting the over all outcomes enough to keep it enjoyable. Narration was good.
