Description

Sylvia Jenning does not like it when her husband, a criminal lawyer, defends the guilty. But when one of his former clients is murdered, she watches David Jenning take on a different role: tracking down a serial killer who has terrorized the city for months. He is helped by Craig Faron, a friend whose involvement is more than professional, the ever-rumpled, ace reporter Joe Parsons, and Sylvia herself. Their investigations lead to a shocking discovery in this gripping and provocative novel which pits modern justice against Old Testament justice.
