Two attorneys. One marriage. One deadly case.
Sara Tate is about to lose her job as Manhattan assistant DA when a high-profile case lands on her desk. It looks like a lifeline, until it turns into a trap. If she wins, her husband Jared dies. If she loses, she dies instead.
Jared, a defense attorney, is unknowingly handed the same case. His task is clear. Win and Sara dies. Lose and he does.
Neither can back down. Neither can tell the truth. And as the courtroom battle escalates, the secrets they keep from each other threaten to destroy far more than their careers.
In this taut legal thriller from Brad Meltzer, love is a weapon and survival has a price.
The verdict is death. No matter who wins.
