Jane Smith is running out of time . . .

Her repeat client, Rob Jacobson, is the unluckiest of the unlucky. No sooner is he accused of killing a family of three in the Hamptons than a second family is gunned down.

He says he's being set up - again. Despite the odds, Jane believes him.

Now she must mount the most complex investigation of her career. But she's facing her own battle too. A terminal medical condition.

The defence may never rest.
