His most promising client is a low-rent call girl, and he runs his fledgling law practice out of a dingy strip mall.

Her secrets put Jay in danger, ensnaring him in a murder investigation that could cost him his practice, his family, and even his life. But before he can get to the bottom of a tangled mystery that reaches into the upper echelons of Houston's corporate powerbrokers, Jay must confront the demons of his past.A near-perfect balance of trenchant social commentary, rich characterizations, and action-oriented plot.
