Lay Bare the Lie

An ex-con, Nora Dockson pulled herself out of the gutter and became an appeals lawyer. She works only for convicted felons. She's sure her current client didn't murder his wife. The jury was misled by testimony from an expert witness who reconstructed the crime based on bloodstain patterns. She'll prove the so-called expert made leaps of logic incompatible with the latest forensic science.

But a family emergency pulls her away from the case and back to her unsavory roots. Events spiral out of control. Instead of arguing in a courtroom, she's once again on the dangerous turf of her childhood. And this time she may not escape alive.
