Description: These days, there's no need to go to prison--provided that you can afford to pay the penalty for the crime you've committed. If you're rich enough, you can get away with murder--but Dani's murder is different. When Theo finds her lifeless body, and a hired killer standing over her and calmly calling the police to confess, he can't let her death become just an entry on a balance sheet. Someone is responsible, and Theo's going to make them pay.
