Summary: Criminal defence lawyer Jilly Truitt is asked by Joseph Quentin to defend his wife, who has been charged with murdering her own mother in what the media are calling a mercy killing. The rumour is that Vera Quentin is in denial, refusing to admit to the crime and take a lenient plea deal. Against her better judgment, Jilly sees Vera and agrees to take on her case. Something about Vera makes Jilly think she<U+2019>s telling the truth. Now she has to prove Vera's innocence in the courtroom against her former mentor turned opponent, prosecutor Cy Kenge--a man who has no problem bending the rules. As the trial draws near, Jilly scrambles to find a crack in the case, and she discovers a dark truth hanging over the Quentin family. But is it enough to prove Vera<U+2019>s innocence? Or is Jilly in denial herself?
