Would you defend your husband in court if he were accused of murdering his mistress?
Sarah Morgan is the best criminal defense attorney in Washington, D.C. At 33, she has achieved everything she dreamed of—career, home, family… Not so much about her husband.
Adam Morgan is a failure. He’s a writer who never achieved recognition. He lives on his wife’s money—someone he hasn’t loved for a long time. Recently, Adam has a secret. In a small secluded house by a forest lake, he’s been having a stormy, passionate affair with a young Kelly Summers.
But one morning, everything changes. Adam is arrested for murder. Kelly is found with thirty-seven stab wounds. In his bed…
From that moment on, Sarah is the only one who can save Adam from the death penalty. She must take on her most difficult case in her practice: defending in court her own husband—the man accused of murdering his mistress.
But is he guilty?… Or not?
