This is a fabulous book you'll want to devour in one sitting.  The book starts to the tune of Frank Sinatra with the murder of Harold Gundy, a top defender with a less than respectable reputation.  Enter Summer Neuwirth, a gifted young defense attorney who doesn't get to cherrypick cases.  First she finds herself defending the wrong man, next she's tasked with defending a stubborn client who doesn't trust her- in fact, she calls Summer "a Barbie doll bureaucrat trying her first murder case."  The excitement rises with the body count- a string of murders hits frighteningly close to Summer's home, as a seemingly unbeatable villain pushes every button.  But Summer is not as sunny as she seems.  The darker side to her story- involving a troubling event from her past, her father's work, and her bright future- bring exciting twists and turns to a smartly written and thoroughly entertaining story.
