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