Byline

The murder of a university student and the subsequent arrest of a homeless man, set a college town on edge. As the ambitious prosecutor rushes to convict, the young public defender representing the accused, Sohni Silver, begins to doubt her client's guilt. Puzzled by the police department's suspiciously incomplete investigation, Sohni searches for answers and finds unexpected assistance from two unlikely allies – each seeking the truth for their own reasons. The investigation, seen through the eyes of three different characters, unexpectedly leads Sohni to a secret worth killing for. To free her client, Sohni must fight against powerful forces, and a killer who has set his sights on her, all while battling her own demons. And she must do it before time runs out – for both of them.
