York. She is used to difficult cases, but when a homeless man savagely
attacks a little girl, Sybylla must defend the indefensible. As

faces strange twists and turns. Why does the jury selection seem so
peculiar? What makes her father, a powerful judge, try to get her off
the case? Can she trust the handsome, Ivy League -- type fellow public
defender who seems to good to be true and too hard to resist? Sybylla
follows a terrifying trail -- from a crowded city courtroom to a
heavily guarded installation in Virginia to the corridors of power in
Washington -facing not only impossible odds of winning her case... but
of staying alive...
