It was a one-way ticket out of his self-imposed isolation and into the courtroom on the right side of justice. It was a favour for his old friend Judge Horace Woolner. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to serve as a special prosecutor in a case against Marshall Goodwin, the chief deputy district attorney accused of having his former wife murdered. It was an opportunity Joseph Antonelli couldn't walk away from.
But Antonelli may be taking on more than he can handle. The Goodwin case renews his appetite for the practice of law and, although he is determined to do the right thing, there are many shades of right and wrong. And Antonelli may be getting in over his head when he finds himself propelled into the midst of the gruesome murder of an elusive patron of the arts from a prominent Portland family. Horace Woolner's wife, Alma, stands accused of the crime. With justice and love on the line, the stakes couldn't be higher.
