A young woman found naked and stabbed to death in her apartment is the type of case that should be perfect for Stanley Hastings. Instead, it's his nightmare. The woman was the girlfriend of Hasting's boss, Richard Rosenberg, and the hotshot lawyer is charged with killing her. Now Richard's in court fighting for his life, and Stanley's out on the firing line trying to dig up some evidence in his favor. But every fact tends to point to Richard's guilt: DNA evidence, eyewitness accounts, his fingerprints on the murder weapon. In desperation, Richard resorts to a series of courtroom tactics so outrageous they would make Perry Mason blush.
