master at blending psychological suspense with gripping,
surprise-filled legal action. Now, Bernhardt and his
crusading attorney Ben Kincaid return in a thrilling story
of love, hate, and the power of a courtroom to separate
deception from the truth.In Tulsa, Ben Kincaid has built a
national reputation as a stalwart defense attorney who will
fight tirelessly for his clients. In Evanston, Illinois,
Johnny Christensen has built a national reputation as a
sadistic bigot who beat and stabbed a gay man and left him
to die. When Johnny?s mother comes to Ben and begs him to
defend her son, he has one secret reason for saying no.But
while Ben turns down the case, his younger, beautiful
partner, Christina McCall, does not. Traveling to Chicago
and facing an explosion of controversy and deadly violence
surrounding the trial, Christina steps into a case that is
already nearly lost. Her client?s only defense is his claim
that he left his victim bludgeoned but alive. To prove that
someone else committed the actual murder, Christina needs a
little bit of evidence?and a good motive to go with it.When
unforeseen circumstances force Ben Kincaid to enter the
trial, the defense attorney sees only one way to prove
Johnny?s innocence. But Ben?s plan means luring a killer
out of the woodwork?even though he may kill again. . . .A
novel of gut-wrenching twists and surprises, this thriller
brilliantly explores the passions between lovers?and the
passions behind society?s most heinous crimes. Once again,
the remarkable William Bernhardt makes us challenge every
assumption, second-guess every judgment, and feel the
terror of the truth.
