A respected DA whose parents died in a house fire many years ago is suddenly arrested and charged with setting the fire and the murder of her parents. She claims she is innocent and sets out to prove it. Very good story
Exciting psychological thriller!
Very good book, the only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that for lawyers, etc. Rosenberg always had them 'shouting' when they talked and I found that part unbelievable and the people are not very likable but the story was good.
