After her brother is arrested for murder, Theresa's quiet life is turned upside down as she immerses herself in a world of political and legal scandal, white-collar crimes and controversial convictions in order to prove his innocence in the next gripping literary mystery by critically acclaimed author, Emily Arsenault. When Theresa's brother Jeff first asked her to dog-sit his girlfriend's puggle, she didn't think it would interfere with her life. A divorced and jaded academic, Theresa's only obligations for the last few years have been her unfinished dissertation and her own house full of pets. But when Kim, Jeff's girlfriend, is found murdered, and her brother becomes the prime suspect, Theresa's quiet world is upended.
The overwhelming evidence against Jeff leads to his arrest, but Theresa believes he's innocent and launches her own investigation. She soon discovers a secret about the murdered woman: As a child she had testified in a notorious murder case, and at the time of her death, she had been collecting evidence against the overzealous prosecutor, who is now running for the Senate. To exonerate her brother, Theresa must throw herself into a world of political and legal scandal, past crimes, controversial convictions, and a dangerous romantic encounter with a potential source. And with each step she must ask herself how much she's willing to put on the line for her brother.
