Appellate lawyer Janet Moodie is called in to work on a post-conviction investigation on a sordid murder-for-hire case. The client is uncooperative, likely schizophrenic, although he’s never let a psychiatrist near him long enough to get a diagnosis.

Convicted of arranging the shooting of a drug dealer, under orders from the Aryan Brotherhood, Howard Henley is not an easy case, and even on death row he doesn’t seem to understand the severity of his situation. It is up to Janet to discover just what was done and by whom, and to determine whether to risk putting her client on trial again…

Industry Reviews
"Mostly retired California defense attorney Janet Moodie returns (following Two Lost Boys, 2017) in this thoughtful legal procedural....The author is an attorney who handles death-penalty appeals, and she does a fine job of incorporating details about the process, funding, and other aspects of investigating and presenting a death-penalty appeal case. Another strength of the series is a protagonist who takes her time. Janet is a widow who goes to yoga with a friend because she knows it's not healthy to spend all her time alone. She works and gardens and has the occasional brunch with friends. She's not a heroine in a thriller; she's an actual grown-up who does hard work and lives her life." - Booklist

"Readers who enjoy Ruth Ware and Megan Miranda will enjoy this book." - San Francisco Book Review

"Often meditative and always compassionate...a must-read for anyone curious as to the lives and work involved with legal defense in modern-day America" Criminal Element

"A highly realistic legal procedural that is refreshingly honest about the way the system works, and without the extra filler that you often find in legal thrillers. A must read." The Crime Review
