Two years ago, in a quiet American town, three people were stabbed to death in their home. No one heard a sound. Now a young black man has been convicted of the crime. But he's innocent.
Or so says Congressman Owen Hall to crime-writer Denise Burke. The trial was a travesty, the accused a scapegoat. Something sinister has been going on, something much bigger than casual murder. It's the perfect plot for Denise's next book.
Denise is hooked. And she has started on a journey far from her husband and family. She's about to learn how deep corruption can lie. And how far-reaching its consequences can be.
