Summary
Dismas Hardy is looking forward to cutting back his work hours and easing into retirement after recovering from two gunshot wounds. Determined to spend more time with his family and reconnect with his distant son, Vincent, Dismas just can't stay away from the courtroom and is soon pulled into family drama with fatal consequences. Grant Carver, the patriarch of the Carver family and its four-generations owned family business, has been murdered. His bookkeeper, Abby Jarvis, whom Hardy defended on a DUI charge eleven years prior, is the prime suspect after police discover she's been embezzling funds from the company, but she insists she did not kill her boss. As he prepares to defend her, Dismas discovers that Abby was not the only one who stood to profit from the company's 25 million dollar market value. From jealous children to gold-digging girlfriends, Dismas must sift through mud flinging, backstabbing and accusations of blackmail. But Dismas not only has to save his client's life but his own, as it soon becomes clear that someone has a painted a target on his back too
