A clever legal thriller led by an intelligent, compassionate woman.
After a devastating career setback, former Assistant District Attorney Miranda Quinn finally has something to get excited about. Though not practicing law in the traditional sense, Miranda’s popular legal-themed blog and podcast have gained enough attention to land her a lucrative daytime TV deal. And it’s about time she caught a break. A failed attempt at a serious relationship and an even bigger failure in the courtroom has left Miranda unsure of almost everything in life. Her sanity and confidence are on the mend when a single phone call sends her life into a tailspin. Three years earlier, a rapist was allowed to walk because Miranda’s key witness was a no-show. This witness, a new mom named Becky, is sure the predator has struck again, and this time she’s ready to testify. But what really happened three years ago? Miranda’s career tanked and everything hinged on Becky’s testimony, but why did she bail? This question has plagued Miranda endlessly, but the answer will leave her in more of a predicament than ever before. Powerful legal teams and plenty of money are on the side of the criminal, so will Miranda Quinn’s tarnished career and a former drug-addicted witness be able to finally put the rapist behind bars?
