In this thrilling new mystery novel, someone is killing defense lawyers—defense lawyers who represent drug dealers, rapists, pedophiles, and murderers. While Detectives Desmond Fine and Frank Costa try to piece together the evidence and find the killer, they see the victims as bottom-feeders: attorneys who manipulate the law and allow the guilty to go free. But when Detective Fine’s childhood friend, a public defender, is murdered, the search suddenly becomes personal—and nothing will stand in Fine’s way to catch the killer.
