Attorney Jane Smith faces the case that could destroy her career. Her client Rob Jacobson stands accused of murdering three people in the Hamptons. Then a second family dies the same way. Six victims. Two crime scenes. One defendant. The prosecution calls it double triple homicide, and they want Jacobson to pay for all of it. Smith built her reputation the hard way, starting as an NYPD beat cop before earning her law degree and working her way into Hamptons courtrooms. She knows how to fight impossible cases. But this one tests every skill she learned on the streets and in the law books. The evidence keeps mounting against Jacobson, but Smith suspects something deeper drives these killings. As she digs into the case, she discovers that someone wants her client to take the fall for crimes that reach far beyond what anyone imagined. The truth will challenge everything Smith believes about justice, and surviving long enough to prove it may be the hardest fight of her life.
