In His Defense

IN HIS DEFENSE

Eleanor "Ellie" Gills has spent her entire life preparing for the courtroom. As a third-generation lawyer and the top graduate of her law school class, she's always believed that every defendant deserves a fair defense-even when the truth isn't pretty.

Her first major case should have been the beginning of her career.

Instead, it puts her across the table from **Frank Castle**.

Frank isn't innocent. He doesn't pretend to be. He's been accused of killing Anthony Moretti, a member of one of the most powerful mafia families in the city-and when Ellie asks him if he did it, he gives her the answer she never expected.

**Yes.**

Now Ellie has to defend a client who refuses to tell her the whole story, a family that wants revenge, and a case where the truth could be more dangerous than the crime itself.

Frank Castle has no intention of making her job easy.

Ellie has no intention of giving up on him.

And somewhere between the courtroom, the secrets, and the danger closing in around them, Ellie is going to discover that defending Frank Castle means stepping into a world she was never supposed to see.
