Prosecutor Ava Knight always plays by the rules.
Until she meets fifteen-year-old Lily Hawthorne, accused of stabbing hotel magnate Michael Osborne in cold blood.
It should be an open-and-shut case. But Ava suspects something everyone else does not:
MICHAEL OSBORNE IS LYING.

His name? Michael Osborne.
Now court is in session.
And Ava must decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth . . .
