Description: Born into a fine old Charleston family, Hammond Cross is determined to be the city's next district attorney — without sacrificing his integrity. Prosecuting the sensational murder of a real estate magnate could be his ticket into office. Yet while Hammond anticipates his success, someone near him is plotting his downfall. Is it Steffi Mundell, colleague, ex-lover and rival? Rory Smilow, homicide detective and Hammond's avowed enemy? Is it the dead man's widow — wily, beautiful and Hammond's lifelong friend? Or is it Hammond's prime suspect, the mysterious woman who shares the secret that would be fatal to Hammond's ambitions?
