For Ty Buchanan defending suspected drunk driver Carl Richess seems routine enough. Ty takes the case only out of sympathy for the defendant's mother. But then the simple DUI becomes a homicide.

Counseling underprivileged clients while recovering from a wrongful murder charge, former trial lawyer Ty Buchanan takes the case of a troubled single mom who is subsequently murdered while fighting her illegal eviction from a transient hotel. "In the second fast-paced novel featuring trial lawyer Ty Buchanan, the murder of a client will force Ty into the underbelly of L.A. to protect the child she left behind"--Provided by the publisher.
