The bloodstains on the courtroom floor belong to attorney Nina Reilly.nbsp;nbsp;Months earlier she'd been shot during a heated murder trial.nbsp;nbsp;She should have died that day.nbsp;nbsp;Instead, Nina has returned to the same Lake Tahoe court.nbsp;nbsp;Her only concession to her lingering fear is to give up criminal law.nbsp;nbsp;She figures an invasion of privacy lawsuit is a nice, safe civil action that will help her support her young son and pay the bills for her one-woman law office.nbsp;nbsp;She figures wrong.
Nina's client is Terry London, a filmmaker whose documentary about a missing girl is raising disturbing questions.nbsp;nbsp;The girl's distraught parents believe the film invades their privacy.nbsp;nbsp;But Terry's brutal murder changes everything. Breaking her promise to herself, Nina decides to defend Terry's accused murderer, a man she'd known years before and hoped never to see again. Suddenly the secrets of Nina's past are beginning to surface in a murder case that gets more dangerous every day.nbsp;nbsp;The evidence against her client is shocking and ironclad--a video of Terry's dying words.nbsp;nbsp;The only chance Nina has to save the man may be illegal.nbsp;nbsp;And if it fails, Nina may lose the case, her practice...and even her life.
