Defense attorney Dylan Aster's unblemished trial record is threatened by an impossible case he gets sucked into. Madeline Ismera, a public defender in Oregon's Jackson County, reaches out to a friend in the DA's office of Nevada's Clark County to ask Dylan for help exactly because of his stellar reputation. The defendant she's been assigned, diagnosed schizophrenic Arlo Ward, is accused of a horrific crime in Coyote Canyon: the slaughter, partial dismemberment, and lewd posing of three young campers (a fourth, Holly Fallows, escaped only by jumping off a cliff ahead of her shadowy pursuer). The police picked him up covered with blood very close to the crime scene, and he's actually confessed to the murders in the hope of attracting media attention that will build the audience for the tell-all book he plans to write in order to leave the proceeds to his wife and daughter. Meeting with Arlo, Dylan and his law partner, Lily Ricci, quickly realize that the best defense they can possibly provide will have to contend with an obstacle even more daunting than ravenously competitive Jackson County DA Kelly Whitewolf: Arlo's own refusal to plead not guilty. "I think he wants to believe he did this," Madeline tells Dylan. What can a lawyer do when everyone he meets, from the prosecutor to the police to the witnesses to his own client, is determined to thwart his attempts to save the client's life? The courtroom duels are correspondingly sharp even though the outcome seems like a forgone conclusion. Or does it?
