Summary:

"With her reputation on the line, one woman must make the ultimate gamble to save her career, her client, and a young boy's life. Jacqueline Stone is an accomplished criminal defense attorney whose tenacity to uncover the truth has earned her the reputation as the one lawyer who can win unwinnable cases. But when a mysterious car accident kills both her son and husband, leaving her the sole survivor, she is exiled from her prestigious firm. Battling personal demons, Jacqueline finds herself at a crossroads, ready to give up law altogether, until accused murderer Ryan Mitchell seeks her counsel and she sees an opportunity for redemption. But with evidence mounting against her client, a child witness too traumatized to provide information, and a mysterious photograph leading to more questions than answers, this case will be no easy feat. Jacqueline must navigate treacherous waters to not only save her career but also protect Ryan's young son from a relentless killer. In a high-stakes gamble, she must rely on the wisdom of a deceased woman, as she races against time to solve the murder and unravel a web of deceit that threatens to consume them all"-- Provided by publisher.
