When a Denver judge is brutally slain, Detective Sarah Spillman inherits her biggest case yet. Discovered with the body is a note: your judgment is coming. Who would want to murder a judge whose reputation for integrity and fairness is well-known?
No sooner do Sarah and her team delve into the case than a killer strikes again, the victim another judge. An identical note is found at the crime scene, however, no link appears to exist between the two judges. Sarah’s instincts tell her there is more to the murders than meets the eye.
But with so many possible leads and so little time, and with the public pressure they’re under, can she catch a killer before the killer dishes out his brand of judgment again?
