Leading radio host Kevin Brace, with his hands covered in blood, tells the delivery man: "I killed her, Mr. Singh, I killed her." The "her" in question is his young wife whose body lies in the bathtub. As the evidence mounts towards the trial, and the suspect refuses to talk, the novel becomes a fascinating web of heroes and liars. It is, of course, a legal thriller, but the scope and depth of its cast make it a more insightful and intelligent read than most other authors of this kind have the talent to offer.
