With everything on the line, the trial culminates in a stunning forensic twist that sends shockwaves through the courtroom. But as the dust settles, Ryan and the rabbi must ask themselves?was it the redemption they were truly seeking?
"This is a terrific, fast-paced read about the dark side of law enforcement and the judiciary. Norman Shabel has a masterful command of the interaction of cops, judges and defense lawyers and he as presented that to us with an added dose of international intrigue in his compelling debut novel. I couldn't put it down." ?Judge Napolitano
