Her attacker provides simply been found-dead- and he’s an official of the court. Now Marty provides two apparently impossible-and seemingly unrelated-cases on her behalf slate. Nevertheless, a dropping verdict may be the least of Marty’s worries, as her harrowing search for the truth network marketing leads to surprising revelations and feasible links that provide damaging twists to Buck’s trial-and may put Marty in the sight line of a vengeful and everything too capable killer.
