A riveting new novel of legal suspense featuring Dismas Hardy and his daughter, Rebecca, now grown up and an associate in Hardy's law firm. Late one night, a teenage African American foster child named Tanya Morgan plummets to her death from the overpass above San Francisco's Stockton tunnel. But did she fall--or was she pushed? Rushing to produce a convictable suspect in the glare of the media spotlight, police focus their attention on a naive young man named Greg Treadway. But soon enough, elements of that story seem to fall apart--and Hardy's daughter, Rebecca, finds herself drawn into the young man's defence.
