Attorney Scott Finn has returned to the tough Charlestown streets of his youth, where he ekes out a living from any legal work he can get. But nothing has prepared him for a case as twisted as the one he now faces. Fifteen years ago doctor and illegal immigrant Vincente Salazar was convicted of a brutal attack on a female undercover cop. Now he finds support in his claim for a new trial and Finn is the only one able to fight to find the truth. Allying himself with maverick detective Tom Kozlowski, Finn uncovers a web of lies, corruption and secrets that stretch from Central America to Boston's suburbs which could threaten the security of the nation. Before Finn and Kozlowski know it, it will be their lives that hang in the balance as they search desperately for the thin line between guilt and innocence. `A knock-out; Grisham with passion, even a touch of the great Michael Connelly thrown in . . . It crackles from the first page to the last and never lets up for a second' Daily Mail

About the Author:

From AudioFile:
After spending 15 years in prison for an attack on a Boston policewoman, Vincent SalvadorÕs case is reopened. Scott Finn is asked by a lawyer from the Innocence Project to take the case. Falsified evidence, tainted cops, and complex conspiracies combine with romance and a healthy dose of humor to make this an engrossing story. George Guidall seems to be totally absorbed by the intrigue as he narrates with energy and outstanding pacing. He accelerates appropriately when the action picks up and delivers the sometimes funny dialogue with good timing. Convincing Spanish accents and voices that reflect the charactersÕ personalities all contribute to a hard-to-turn-off audio presentation. S.S.R.
