Description: With her friends sleeping nearby and her parents' wealth and power guarding her, someone walks into fourteen-year-old Emma Lancaster's bedroom and takes her. Eight days later, abduction becomes murder, and a year later, police make an arrest. Media tycoon Doug Lancaster vows to see his daughter's accused murderer put to death, but one man stands in his way. Once a take-no-prisoners DA, Luke Garrison sent an innocent man to the death chamber. Now a defense lawyer, Luke is faced with the toughest decision of his life. If he plays it right, it could give him back his life. If he's wrong, he could die. And a killer could walk.
