Una difficile partita del brillante avvocato di "Presunto innocente", che rientrando in casa dopo un viaggio scopre che la moglie si è suicidata. Un romanzo di grande presa emotiva che va oltre i limiti di una storia criminale.

Lena Adams har brugt det meste af sit liv på at stikke af fra sin fortid. Hun har ikke andet end dårlige minder om sin fødeby Reece, som næsten ødelagde hende. Nu har hun skabt sig et nyt liv som politikommissær i Heartsdale, flere hundrede kilometer væk, men intet har kunnet forberede hende på det kaos der eksploderer omkring hende, da hun tvinges til at vende tilbage til sin fødeby. En brutal morder har efterladt en ung kvinde maltrakteret til ukendelighed. Og Lena er den eneste mistænkte.

En alvorligt såret kvinde bringes til skadestuen. Kvinden er blevet ramt af en bil, men eftersom hun er nøgen og har været udsat for brutal vold, står det hurtigt klart, at hun har været offer for en person med et yderst forskruet sind. Tre år tidligere flyttede restmediciner Sara Linton til Atlanta i håb om at lade sine tragiske fortid bag sig. Nu arbejder hun som læge og forsøger samtidig at få sit liv tilbage på rette spor. Men da den brutalt sårede kvinde bringes ind på skadestuen, bliver Sara ufrivilligt trukket tilbage til den verden af vold og mord, som hun havde forladt.

Politikommissær Jeffrey Tolliver gør et makabert fund i en skovbund, idet han nærmest snubler over et metalrør, der fører ned til en interimistisk grav. En ung kvinde er blevet levende begravet, og ser umiddelbart ud til at være død af iltmangel. Men retsmediciner Sara Lintons obduktion afslører et ganske andet scenario. Offeret bliver hurtigt identificeret som Abigail Bennett, et medlem af The Holy Grown landbrugskollektiv. Kollektivet er underligt nok ganske uanfægtet ved nyheden om, at et medlem er blevet forgiftet, og mistanken breder sig hurtigt. Endnu en grav dukker op og endnu en pige forsvinder.

A dieci anni di distanza da un triplice, terribile delitto per il quale è stato condannato a morte un ladruncolo di colore, l'avvocato Arthur Raven riprende in mano il caso alla vigilia dell'esecuzione della pena capitale. Cerca di far chiarezza su quanto avvenuto, anche grazie al''aiuto del''affascinante Gillian Sullivan, il giudice di quel processo la cui promettente carriera è stata stroncata da una condanna per corruzione. Tra gli ostacoli ci sono, però, Muriel Wynn, l'agguerrito avvocato dell'accusa, e l'ex amante che dieci anni prima aveva costretto il presunto colpevole a confessare.

Es sollte ein unbeschwertes Date auf der gut besuchten Rollschuhbahn werden. Doch für Sara Linton und Polizeichef Jeffrey Tolliver überschlagen sich die Ereignisse, als plötzlich die 13-jährige Jenny mit einer Waffe in der Menge auftaucht. Sie droht damit, den Teenager Mark zu erschießen. Obwohl Jeffrey alles tut, um die Situation zu entschärfen, kommt es zur Eskalation: Jeffrey muss Jenny töten, um Mark zu retten. Und der Albtraum hat noch kein Ende gefunden.
