a novel

"A woman stumbles onto a dark road in rural Oregon -- tortured, battered, and bound. She tells a horrific story about being kidnapped, then tortured, until she finally managed to escape. She was the lucky one -- two other women, bearing similar burns and bruises, were found dead. The surviving victim identifies the house where she was held captive, and the owner, Alex Mason, a prominent local attorney, is arrested. Although he loudly insists upon his innocence, his wife's statements about his sexual sadism and the physical evidence found at the scene are damning. Regina Barrister is a legendary criminal defense attorney, known as "The Sorceress" for her courtroom victories. But she's got a secret, one that threatens her skill, her reputation, and, most of all, her clients. She's agreed to take on the seemingly impossible task of defending Alex Mason. Robin Lockwood, a young lawyer and former MMA fighter, has just left a clerkship at the Oregon Supreme Court to work for Regina. The Alex Mason trial is her first big one, a likely death-penalty case, and she's second chair to Regina. Increasingly, she's worried both about her boss's behavior and the seemingly ironclad case against their client, one that even the fabled Regina Barrister might not win. Yet lurking in the details of the case is something that bothers Robin, something that might reveal a very chilling story."--, Provided by publisher
