For John Phillip Solomon, the case is a long shot. An LAPD vice cop is dead, gunned down outside a stripjoint. A black gang leader is accused, and Solomon is his court-appointed attorney. To add to his difficulties, Solomon"s trial opponent is his longtime nemesis, the man who replaced him as chief deputy in the Los Angeles D.A."s office, and who is now the hyper-ambitious front-runner in the election to become the next D.A. Despite the odds, Solomon thinks he can still pull off some of his old courtroom magic while battling his way through legal loopholes and manipulations. But there is more danger and tension ahead: His former lover, police officer Mary Delgado, is privy to all the stops on a twisted trail of kickbacks and lethal corruption...and she can blow the case right out of court... 1996. 363 pages. PB in very good condition.
