Sequel to 'Mitigating Circumstances'.
Back on top as a dedicated district attorney, Lily Forrester is haunted by a dark secret. Six years ago she tracked down and killed the man she believed raped both her and her young daughter. Although she got away with the murder, she had killed the wrong man.
Now her ex-husband, who is facing criminal charges in a hit-and-run, is threatening to expose her unless she uses her position to get him out of this mess. When Lily refuses, her life is turned upside down. Police reopen the six year old homicide case and charge Lily, catapulting her into the media spotlight.
In this riveting sequel to 'Mitigating Circumstances', Lily must choose between doing what she believes is right and further hurting the one person she has always tried to protect: her daughter.
