Clark's (Guilt by Degrees) real-life experience as lead prosecutor on the O.J. Simpson trial lends credibility to this story that blends Hollywood heavy-hitters and a horrifying crime. The daughter of high-profile Hollywood director Russell Antonovich has been murdered, and her boyfriend—former child star Ian Powers, who is now Russell's agent—is the prime suspect. DA Rachel Knight and her buddy Det. Bailey Keller are assigned the daunting task of trying to prove Powers's guilt. January LaVoy returns as narrator, effectively capturing the diverse personalities of Knight's inner circle as well as providing the necessary tension during the courtroom scenes.
VERDICT Recommend to those who enjoy legal thrillers with a female protagonist and tales of Hollywood told from an insider's perspective.
