Her latest case-- the investigation of Ian Bradley for insider trading --could make her career ... She'll do anything to prove he's guilty. He'll do anything to prove he's not. But it's only a matter of time before their fierce battle of wits gets oh so hot and personal. Now, taking down Ian has become more than business for Lara. It's become a pleasure-- and there's more at risk than she ever dreamed"--
