La joven y atractiva Dra. Mazoltuv fue acusada de haber contratado a un asesino que acabara con la vida de su ex marido, con el agravante de que sucedió en presencia de Michelle, el hijo de ambos. El fiscal lo consideró un caso de venganza, ya que el ex marido había conseguido misteriosamente la custodia del niño. En el libro se aborda el juicio desde múltiples ángulos siempre guiados por la prosa sagaz de Malcolm. La autora pone en debate el insondable abismo que separa nuestros elevados ideales acerca de la justicia y a lo que se ve reducida debido a los condicionantes humanos que influyen en los procesos judiciales.«Un libro breve pero inmenso si tenemos en cuenta las numerosas implicaciones que se derivan de sus argumentos.»New York Review of Books«Tan contundente y preciso que solo puede ser producto de un intelecto tan brillante como el de Malcolm.»Boston Globe
