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 heโs been selling drugs for her locked-up ex-husband, Elke is completely thrown.
She has to save her brother, and she canโt allow him to suffer for her ex-husbandโs sins. But she can hardly concentrate at work. The new case sheโs picked out, a young man whoโs accused of killing his girlfriend, doesnโt seem to want to unravel. Everyone else, including the other members of the CRU, think heโs actually guilty.
Elke wonโt give up on the case, though, and she wonโt give up on her brother.
Even if her holding on leads to gunshots on a cold winter night and blood in the snow.
