Syndicated radio psychiatrist Dr. Gina Davenport's sole concern is the well-being of her listeners...until a shove through her office window brings her career and her life to a shockingly brutal end. Before the Kansas City police have a chance to make an arrest, a troubled young woman turns herself in for the doctor's murder. Defence attorney Lou Mason takes the case-yet something about his client's story doesn't add up. Lou believes she's protecting a remorseless psychopath whose deadly agenda is nowhere near complete. To catch a killer, Lou must venture into a sordid world of money, drugs, and a devastating black market. But even on the "better" side of town, there's a price to be paid for the truth. And now, someone wants Mason to pay it in blood.
Review"A legal thriller written the way criminal law should be practiced: from the gut...One of the premier crime novels of the year."
