Controversial author and scholar David Etheridge is not the kind of company an aspiring politician wants to keep. But ambitious senator Robert McCrutchen has a history with Etheridge that hes desperately trying to keep under wraps. Twentytwo years ago, both men were investigated in the death of a young coed, but the case was never solved. When Etheridge returns to Oregon, McCrutchen is his grudging hostuntil the senator is found shot dead. Now, Etheridge is once again suspected of murder, only this time, with the cold case reopened, hes facing a double charge. Attorney Barbara Holloway must battle both the prosecution and the court of public opinion, which has already tried and convicted Etheridge for both murders. As the pressure mounts, Barbara must risk her own life to protect a client and preserve justice.
