Description

Kelsey Thatch, an assistant DA, is sent to a remote East Texas town to prosecute an unpleasant double murder involving the town's ruling family. A suspect is in custody, and the only puzzling aspect of the apparently straightforward case is that the dead couple's baby is missing. With more self-confidence than evidence, Kelsey takes the case to trial. Not much to our surprise, the obligatory reversal in the last chapter makes us see that the defendant, his relatives, and the courts of Defiance County have been carefully manipulated by the real murderer.
