Months after a brutal double homicide in uptown Manhattanshocks the city, sensational newspaper headlines herald the arrest andindictment of Felix Acevedo, a shy Bronx teenager who confessed to the horrificcrimes. But downtown, in the district attorney's office, Butch Karp isseething. No sooner does he bask in the relief of successfully closingthe case on murderous imam Sharif Jabbar than he is thrust into the center of ahigh-profile prosecution that threatens the integrity of his office. Anambitious young assistant district attorney, seeking career advancement, cutscorners to indict Acevedo, disregarding Karp's fundamental rule: Never chargethe accused unless the evidence leads inexorably to proof beyond a reasonabledoubt. Now, damned by a coerced confession and a frenzied media bent onlynching him, Acevedo sits in jail while a vicious killer stalks the city. Karp's wife, Marlene Ciampi, one half of the 'crime-fightingfamily' proclaimed by the media, hits the streets for clues that will save theunjustly accused defendant. What she discovers puts her on the trail of thetrue perpetrator - a drug-addicted psychopath with an ax to grind - and adisgruntled police detective who is willing to lie, withhold evidence, and killto be labeled a hero. But it also puts her in the center of a dangerous race tobe the last man standing and if she's not careful, one of the other playerswill take the prize.
