A high-powered lawyer learns firsthand the terrible truth about her client . . . a discovery that propels her on a quest for justice and revenge in this addictively readable thriller.
Lawyer Kelly McCann, defends men accused of rape.
She's fought to build a successful career as a criminal defence attorney, with a speciality in defending men accused of sex crimes – falsely accused, she always maintains.
Her detractors call her a traitor to her gender, but she doesn't care: she loves to win.
Kelly's most recent victory is securing an acquittal for a world-renowned scientist accused of sexually assaulting his female employees.
But the thrill of her victory is short-lived. That very night she, too, becomes the victim of a brutal sexual assault. And almost as horrific as the attack is the fact that she can't tell anyone who the perpetrator is – not without destroying her career in the process.
Kelly has never backed down from a fight and she's not about to start pulling her punches now. As she joins forces with her rapist's victims, for the first time it's not about winning ― these wronged women are out for justice and for revenge.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This page-turner from Kistler (The Cage) makes up for some uneven plotting with sharp prose and a ripped-from-the headlines premise. Law firm partner Kelly McCann is known for successfully defending her clients from sexual assault allegations. Flush from her recent victory for Dr. George Benedict, a prominent research scientist, she accepts an invitation to a dinner party at his home, where he assaults her. Going to the police or the press would jeopardize Kelly's job and reputation, and the nondisclosure agreements she's brokered with several of Benedicts' previous victims prevent them from speaking out on her behalf. Instead, Kelly reaches out to these women and orchestrates a convoluted plan for revenge. Things do not go smoothly, however, and, one by one, Kelly's accomplices turn up dead. Kistler, a former trial lawyer, brings authenticity to the proceedings, and while the story gets off to a slow start and is pocked by occasional plot holes, it's bolstered by potent feminist rage. This burns hot.
