How did a street hustler, in and out of jail since he was ten, beat
a murder rap, no matter whether he did the crime or not?
Meet Myra Cross, a thirty-one-year-old redheaded beauty with a
take-no-prisoners reputation as a Public Defender. She confounds
her colleagues and clients alike as she not only wins acquittal
after acquittal but poses for "Playboy" in her spare time. She has
the face of an angel, the body of a goddess, and a mind like a
steel trap. But with secrets and demons, she neither pretends to be
a Girl Scout nor to have all the answers. This time, when she's
once again assigned the defense of Napoleon T. Booker -- aka Little
Dog Nine, who's charged with another homicide -- she gets much more
than she bargained for.
Acclaimed author of the cult classic "The School on 103rd
Street," Roland S. Jefferson weaves an explosive literary mix of
contemporary urban authenticity and classic old-school crime into a
mesmerizing, pulse-pounding thriller.
