Jane Smith earned her reputation as the top criminal defense attorney in the Hamptons by never backing down from a fight. She investigates cases like a detective and argues them with ruthless precision. The wealthy and notorious seek her out because she wins. Now Jane faces her biggest challenges yet. A high-profile client stands accused of triple homicide, and she must mount a defense that could make or break her career. At the same time, she takes on a cold case involving multiple unsolved killings. Then her doctor delivers crushing news: she has a terminal illness with only twelve months left. Jane refuses to let death derail her work, but staying alive long enough to finish these cases may prove impossible. She has made countless enemies during her career, and someone appears determined to kill her before the disease can.
