Overview

What is more dangerous? The lies she tells or the truth she's hiding? Jane Knudsen is an exceptionally private and intimidatingly beautiful workaholic attorney. Unflappable and cool, she's the last person likely to suddenly snap and murder one of her firm's senior partners. Yet she's become the most likely suspect in the crime. She's retained Allison Barton, her former law school roommate, to represent her. It's Allison's job to believe Jane, even if Allison never really knew her. No one did. Jane always made sure of that. For Allison, getting close to her client now grows more complicated with each new development in the case. There may be other suspects in the victim's orbit--his harried assistant, his wrathful wife, his overly attached daughter--but everything points to Jane's guilt. She had opportunity, access, the weapon, and a motive--and she's hiding something else. And Jane would rather go to prison for life than reveal the secrets that could save her. But what secrets are worse than murder? And what will Allison risk to discover them?
