Jody Allen was an ordinary black attorney who had had to deal with a lifetime of racism and sexism, so when on her thirtieth birthday she was suddenly given the position she had always longed for - to be the first female and first black criminal defense attorney in the little town of Bethel, Maine, she didn't suspect foul play but when her first client turned out to be Regan Walberg, the most prominent detective from a pedigree of finesse in Bethel who had been allegedly accused of a gruesome crime, she found herself being drawn to the case and inadvertently.... him.
