"A taut, fast-paced, mystery thriller. From the first page to the last, it doesn't let go of the reader.
Attorney Mark McCoy has a credibility problem. Everyone, including his lawyer, thinks he murdered his boss. His only chance is to remain a fugitive and prove his innocence. The body count rises as he uncovers dark and sinister secrets about his kinky boss, his loyal girlfriend, and his white shoe firm.
But the truth may have a high price tag: his life.
