When a billionaire real estate developer is gunned down on a city street, the evidence against the shooter is overwhelming. The case should be simple.
But for newly elected Philadelphia District Attorney Jessie Black, it isn't.
The victim becomes a symbol-of greed, evictions, and a company accused of wrecking lives. Overnight, the murder trial turns into a movement, and Jessie finds herself caught in the middle.
Protesters swarm the DA's office. Anonymous letters call her bought and paid for. A brick shatters her bedroom window while she sleeps beside her husband. Detective Emily Graham is forced to work with the FBI on a domestic terrorism task force. At home, Leary wants her out of the line of fire-just as the case drags her deeper in.
And that's before the first twist.
Jessie can't afford to lose-and she's terrified to win-because either way, someone she loves will pay the price.
