Elke Lawrence has never been happier in her job as the head of the Conviction Review Unit. But when her younger brother comes to her in fear for his life because heâs been selling drugs for her locked-up ex-husband, Elke is completely thrown.
She has to save her brother, and she canât allow him to suffer for her ex-husbandâs sins. But she can hardly concentrate at work. The new case sheâs picked out, a young man whoâs accused of killing his girlfriend, doesnât seem to want to unravel. Everyone else, including the other members of the CRU, think heâs actually guilty.
Elke wonât give up on the case, though, and she wonât give up on her brother.
Even if her holding on leads to gunshots on a cold winter night and blood in the snow.
