Back in New York after a successful murder trial in Santa Fe, maverick defense attorney Jon Willard again confronts the legal corruption he had tried to escape.

Chris Stewart—the soldier son of Jon’s old legal mentor, retired judge Miles Stewart—is in big trouble. Chris has just saved a woman’s life by shooting her would-be killer.

But the new Brooklyn D.A., Eamon Casey, charges the young hero with murder.

Casey—vengeful protégé of a corrupt former prosecutor that Willard put behind bars—has old scores to settle with Miles Stewart, too. By convicting Stewart’s son, Casey aims to get even with both his enemies.

Willard thinks his client’s acquittal will be a slam dunk. But the trial verdict unexpectedly goes sideways. Now, Chris Stewart’s fate rests on Jon Willard’s courtroom wiles, and his moral determination to defeat this latest. . . .
