Description

Years ago, Assistant DA Jessie Black’s successful prosecution of Frank Ramsey—a serial killer known as the Family Man—put her on a path to stardom at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. But now an ineffective assistance of counsel claim threatens to overturn the verdict.

The claim alleges that Ramsey did not receive a fair trial because of his lawyer, a public defender named Jack Ackerman. Jack, an excellent lawyer, committed himself to a mental institution days after the trial. No one knows why.

Now Jessie must return to the courtroom to face the killer and his new lawyers—a dream team of high-powered attorneys with mysterious motives for taking his case. Unless Jessie can stop them, they will overturn the verdict, destroy a good man’s legal career, and put a vicious killer back on the street.

Jessie’s only chance to keep Ramsey in prison is to defend his defense attorney and prove Jack’s sanity. And to do that, she’s going to need to find out what really happened at that trial.
