Description
A TEEN-AGED GIRL CAN BE AMONG THE MOST VULNERABLE OF HUMAN BEINGS. AND THE PREYED-UPON YOUNG WOMAN AT THE DARK CENTER OF JENNA'S CASE IS CERTAIN TO WIN THE HEART OF READERS JUST AS SHE HAS THAT OF HER SWORN LEGAL CHAMPION, THE STRATEGICALLY EDGE-PUSHING, EVER-RESOURCEFUL NEW YORK ATTORNEY TUG WYLER. Believing Jenna Radcliff to be the victim of a Brooklyn doctor willing to put greed above his oath to do no harm, Tug takes on her case with deeply felt zeal. Yet what he quickly comes to understand is that his new client-once an obviously bright, outgoing girl (and ace neighborhood double-Dutch jump-roper)-is now a nearly mute shadow of her former self. As he proceeds to amass evidence against the conscienceless and defiant surgeon who'd willfully mutilated Jenna, Tug unfortunately soon discovers that the forces set against him are not only more numerous than he'd imagined but also more deadly. Craving no interference with the scams they have going, his newest enemies show themselves willing to stop at nothing ... to stop him. It's a pretty tough corner in which Tug finds himself, even as he realizes he has old allies keeping watch over him. Yet will they be enough to keep him out of harm's way?
