English Summary/英文概要： Fan favorite, lawyer Amanda Jaffe, who first debuted in Margolin’s Wild Justice, and for whom this is her fifth appearance (over 1.5 million copies of her previous titles are in print) returns in the latest from New York Times bestselling author Phillip Margolin!
Dale Masterson, senior partner in a large Portland, OR, law firm, has built his career on representing the corporate interests of oil and coal companies. But the apple has fallen very far from the tree with his son, Brandon, who has grown up to be an ardent eco-warrior.
When Dale is found beaten to death in his mansion, Brandon is seen fleeing from the scene covered in blood. Soon afterwards, Brandon walks into the police station and confesses to his father’s murder. He claims it is a revenge killing, on behalf of all the people on earth who are being murdered by his father’s controversial clients.
Veteran lawyer Amanda Jaffe is hired to represent Brandon, but what seems like an open-and-shut case quickly unravels before her eyes. If Brandon is innocent, but determined to martyr himself for his cause, then who did beat Dale Masterson to death? When she finds out, she’ll face the most challenging case yet.
