In this mesmerizing tale of suspense from New York Times bestselling author Phillip Margolin, attorney Amanda Jaffe—star of Wild Justice, Ties That Bind, Proof Positive, and Fugitive—becomes entangled in a murder case involving Big Oil, an estranged father and son, and the greatest ethical dilemma of her career.
Dale Masterson, senior partner in a large Portland, Oregon, law
firm, has become wealthy and successful representing the interests of
oil and coal companies. When his colleague, Christine Larson, is found
dead, Masterson’s business practices are put under surveillance and a
lower-level employee stands accused.The controversy surrounding the
firm is magnified tenfold when Dale is found beaten to death in his
mansion. But this time Dale’s son, Brandon, is seen fleeing the scene. A
dedicated eco-warrior obsessed with saving the planet, Brandon
confesses to killing his father—for revenge, he claims—on behalf of all
the people whose lives are being destroyed by his father’s questionable
clients.
Veteran lawyer Amanda
Jaffe is hired to represent Brandon, but what seems like an
open-and-shut case quickly begins to unravel. If Brandon is really
innocent—a radical activist determined to martyr himself for his
cause—then who viciously murdered Dale Masterson?
