The hearing

When a homicide detective's daughter is killed, the aggrieved father pushes the main suspect for answers, D.A. Sharron Pratt sets out to revive her career by declaring war on the accused, and defense attorney Dismas Hardy struggles to ensure a fair trial. Preview of book: The call comes at midnight. An up-and-coming lawyer has been found dead in a dark alley, a homeless heroin addict holding a gun and lingering over her body. It looks like a robbery gone awry, a tragic and petty murder. But for homicide lieutenant Abe Glitsky, the crime cuts close to home. Because Glitsky has a personal connection to this woman that even his best friend, Disma Hardy, doesn't suspect.
