Jack Lautrec is a maverick Albuquerque, New Mexico, defense attorney some members of his profession consider past his prime, one who can't resist taking on the most hopeless cases- the more impossible the better. And his multicultural sunbelt city is seemingly willing to supply one after another. But he's never been called on to defend a client in quite the way he must defend his latest one. Young artist Luis Esquibel has been caught red-handed burying the body of a beautiful model, and it's an open-and-shut matter, until Lautrec starts unraveling the police department's "airtight" case, uncovering a conspiracy of lies and silence that no one-least of all his client-wants exposed. Jack has always worked alone, but this time he is teamed, to his surprise, with his partner-and daughter -strong-willed, attractive Marty. She has always steered clear of his kind of law, but this time she has her own reasons for joining him, secrets which link her with the crime- and the criminal. Against the backdrop of the picturesque old Southwestern city of Albuquerque, Zollinger weaves a tale of murder, intrigue, and dangerous loyalties, as father and daughter pick their way through two different worlds. and-shut matter, until Lautrec starts unraveling the police department's "airtight" case, uncovering a conspiracy of lies and silence that no one-least of all his client-wants exposed.
