While receiving threats from the husband of a woman she is representing in a divorce case, Brooklyn lawyer Cass Jameson discovers that another client, whom she had thought was innocent, is really a man bent on revenge, who had once disfigured his girlfriend.
Carolyn Wheat is an attorney, an editor, and an award-winning author. Her short stories won the Anthony, the Agatha, the Shamus, and the Macavity awards, and two of her six Cass Jameson legal mysteries have been nominated for Edgar awards.
