Controlling, manipulative, and dangerously sexy, Riordan is guilty of many things. When the charge is bribery, however, Cass believes Riordan is innocent - the pawn of an ambitious D.A. But when witnesses start turning up dead, Cass has to convince herself that the man she loves didn’t pull the trigger…

Carolyn Wheat, one of the mystery world’s emerging stars, proves that she’s the equal of any of the best writers in the legal jungle in her new Cass Jameson novel. The courtroom crackle and icy insights into the hearts of lawyers, criminals, cops, and judges that the author soaked up in her years as a Legal Aid defense attorney are apparent on every page, and her writing is full of energy and compassion. Jameson’s ex-lover, a manipulative mob lawyer, is charged with bribery and wants her to defend him. But is he counting on her brains or her heart to get him off? Other Wheaties in paperback are Fresh Kills and Where Nobody Dies.
