AN AMAZON #1 BESTSELLER - - INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY
The time is 1982. The place is the South Bronx. Working as a Bronx Legal Aid Attorney, Nick Mannino becomes an unbeatable defense lawyer - not a single conviction.
When a rape victim commits suicide after a trial he won but should have lost, he is devastated. Searching for absolution, he grabs the headline case of a defendant he is convinced is innocent.
Then one of the complaining witnesses turns up dead and he comes face to face with his greatest conflict and deepest fear: to win, really win, must he sacrifice every principle he believes in and embrace his family's mafia past?
