Gresham's toughest case yet . . .

Carlos puts in his forty hours a week, pays his taxes, and loves his family. But when his daughter gets sick and the only treatment that will save her is far beyond his means, he does the only thing he can think of.

He robs banks.

The money comes in, but so does unwanted help from the criminal underworld and soon it's all out of control.

Facing armed robbery charges and a prosecution lawyer who wants to stick a needle in his arm and watch him die, Carlos turns to Michael Gresham.

Gresham's first target is the prosecution. She plays ruthless, but he knows there's a dark secret somewhere beneath that facade.

Bank robberies, courtroom drama, and unexpected turns fill this legal thriller from million-selling John Ellsworth.
