A master manipulator accused of murder. An attorney sworn to defend her. Keera Duggan returns in a riveting novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni. When Jenna Bernstein, disgraced wunderkind CEO of a controversial biotech company, is accused of murdering her former partner and lover, she turns to Seattle attorney Keera Duggan to defend her. Keera is more than a master chess player who brings her intuitive moves into court--she's Jenna's childhood friend. But considering their history, Keera knows that where Jenna goes, trouble follows. Five years earlier, Keera's father successfully defended Jenna when she was tried for the killing of her company's chief scientist who threatened to go public with allegations of corporate fraud. Keera knows Jenna too well. When she was a kid, Keera saw Jenna for what she was: a manipulative and frighteningly controlling sociopath. Now, with only circumstantial evidence against Jenna, Keera is willing to bury any trepidation she might have to defend a woman she believes, this time, to be innocent. As the investigation gets underway and disturbing questions arise, Keera puts her trust in a client who swears that this time she's telling nothing but the truth. If this is all just another devious game, Keera might be working to set a murderer free.

Rezension von Talita ChahineQuando vi que esse livro era um thriller de tribunal, fiquei com os dois pés atrás, normalmente essas histórias são bem paradas, mas não é o que acontece por aqui... Tudo começa quando a Keera Dugan é chamada as pressas pelo seu Pai, e bem no meio das suas férias, mas ela não tem como recusar, e segue para o escritório, chegando lá ela vai dar de cara com a última pessoa que ela imagino Jenna Bernstein, uma figura não muito querida do seu passado, as duas meio que cresceram juntas, e sempre que a Jenna estava por perto algo ruim acontecia ! Dessa vez, ela esta envolvida em mais um assassinato, digo mais um porque o Pai da Keera já livrou ela de um, e agora ela volta correndo pedindo socorro, e vai sobrar para a Keera resolver esse caso. E a gente vai acompanhar tudo, tim tim por tim tim, e a cada nova revelação mais confuso e complexo essa caso fica. Acontece que a nossa querida Jenna, é a principal suspeita da morte de um dos seus investidores, sim ela tinha uma Start-up voltada para a cura do Mal de Parkinson, e o mais interessante é que no outro caso, a pessoa que foi assassina também fazia parte da empresa ! A cada capitulo novo mais suspeita ela fica, até que a Keera resolve deixar o juri com uma pequena dúvida, e vai ser isso que vai salvar a pela da Jenna pelo menos nesse caso !
