Michelle Martinez has been hailed as "a rising literary star," (Chicago Sun-Times) "an author who knows the mean streets [and] will have you turning pages late into the night" (Linda Fairstein). Now this talented writer delivers her fourth tale of crime and justice featuring the sexy, smart, and tough-as-nails federal prosecutor Melanie Vargas. About to bring a famous rap star to trial for murder, Melanie becomes the sole witness when a car bomb kills the rapper's lawyer. Her career and her safety are on the line, but so is her heart: Melanie's relationship with the charismatic defense lawyer was more than strictly professional. Determined to hunt down his killer, she finds herself in a dangerous world of subterfuge and double-crosses. The lawyer wasn't what he seemed. A lot of people wanted him dead, and as Melanie zeroes in on the answer, she finds she can't trust anybody, not even those closest to her.
