Deputy District Attorney Joshua Jin is up against the wall. With his life in crisis, he is forced to take on a politically charged case involving the rape of a thirteen-year-old girl. The victim refuses to talk. The ex-con charged with the crime was arrested on a hunch. And . . . there is no physical evidence.
Under immense pressure to win a conviction, Jin must first earn the confidence of his stone-silent client, a troubled teenager who trusts no one. Working against a brilliant, high-priced defense attorney who wants nothing more than to crush the opposition--particularly when her opposition is Josh Jin--he throws his heart and soul into an impossible case that is far more explosive than he had ever imagined. . . .
Although at times it was a bit slow, it held my interest. The trial was well done. I got a bit bogged down in the politics. Would not seek out other books of his.
I have owned this book for years. I tried reading it several times. The writing/ character' thinking style made it hard for me to understand. This te around when I got frustrated, I would go to a new section. To see if future events helped me understand and it did. Okay so bottom line, no your usual laser novel.
