Paradox (Unabridged‪)‬

When is death row better than a not guilty verdict?

When Sterling King agrees to defend a client accused of murder, she never thinks winning the trial will place her client and herself in danger. Her client has evidence against some powerful people. After she wins the case, they kill him, but then it occurs to them - he might have confided in her.

The bomb they plant misses Sterling, but kills four FBI agents. Determined to find the people responsible for the death of the agents, the FBI assigns a team headed by Gary Randall, and old flame from law school, to protect Sterling. In order to keep her alive and the flame from going out, Gary will have to match wits with one of the smartest killers in America. At the same time, he must find porta del diavolo, the devil's doorway, the one only clue the client leaves Sterling.
