When a controversial judge is murdered, her law clerk becomes trapped in a deadly scandal.
Nicole Palmer is getting her life back. At 34, with three young kids, Nicole is in her second year of law school, attending class at night while clerking for Judge Theresa Banks during the day. Nicole's schedule is grueling, but worth it. She's adjusting to being divorced and greatly admires Judge Banks, who was her lawyer before being appointed to the bench.
When Judge Banks is killed on a stormy fall night, Nicole is shocked--not just because her friend and mentor is dead, but that circumstances surrounding her death raise questions about Theresa's integrity and political connections.
Hours before Judge Banks' death, she came into the courthouse on a day it was closed to sign an order dismissing a highly-publicized land development case. And files of other cases assigned to her can't be found.
Determined to clear Theresa's name and defend her honor, Nicole ends up in the sites of a veteran Baltimore hit man, Jake Burton.
Jake has his own problems, including getting paid for a lawyer he shot last week and a fiance who's in jail--but nothing that will keep him from killing Nicole once the group that owns the governor gives the word.
