Synopsis
On a dark, foggy San Francisco evening, Jeremy Fullerton, a hot shot California senator with his eye on the presidency, is found murdered in the front seat of his car after speaking at a political fundraiser. The police arrest a young black male found fleeing the scene. The youth, a medical student, says that he tried to help the senator, but ran because he was afraid of the police. However, all the evidence says otherwise. The only lawyer willing to take the case, fraught with political and social ramifications, is an outsider-and Joseph Antonelli leaves his Portland, Oregon, practice in search of justice. As he begins to prepare his defense, he finds himself lost in a world ruled by backroom politics and old money. He digs deeper and uncovers a chain of deceit, betrayal, and naked ambition-and soon discovers just how much one person will risk in order to leave behind a legacy.
Reviews
Attorney Joseph Antonelli leaves Oregon to take a case no San Francisco lawyer will touch. U.S. Senator Jeremy Fullerton is murdered on a pea-soup foggy night. Jamaal is accused but pleads innocent; and while Antonelli digs to find the truth, life becomes dangerous for all involved. Mark Feuerstein reads the narration with a clear, strong voice, pausing definitively at each period. His characterizations are colorful, and his accents provide wonderful verbal images of the speakers. As the action speeds up, Feuerstein maintains his steady and unemotional narration.
