The jury's watching. The killer is too.
When a Red Sox game ends in controversy, Susan Sorella's hotheaded client explodes in a bar, shouting, Kill the ump! Hours later, that very umpire turns up dead-and the murder weapon is discovered in her client's garage. The case looks airtight: a conviction for first-degree murder, with no chance of parole.
As if defending an impossible case weren't enough, Susan finds herself drawn to the lead homicide detective-a razor-sharp cop with a wicked sense of humor and the kind of charm that threatens both her focus and her ethics.
But when more bodies hit the ground, Susan realizes her client might not be the only one with a motive. The truth is tangled deep in Boston's underworld and the sun-drenched shadows of Tampa Bay. To uncover it, she must risk everything, even calling on her uneasy ally, mob boss Frank Romano. Frank holds secrets that could blow the case wide open-if his loyalty to the mob doesn't silence him first.
With the trial looming and no alternative suspect in sight, Susan must untangle a web of lies, betrayals, and deadly games before the jury decides her client's fate-and before the real killer strikes again.
