Edwards legal career was going nowhere fast. Then murder steps up to the tee at Lake Pointe. Edwards has the defense of "The Country Clubber" and a shot at redemption. But his dream case is fast becoming a nightmare.

Amanda Armbruster was the darling of the country club set. Long, lithe, and lovely, she was thew queen of many hearts. Her brutal murder ignites a firestorm of public passion. Even before a jury can be seated, a lynch mob is forming for Amanda's husband, Ted. If his lawyer gets to wear the same necktie; well no omelets without a few broken eggs.

Every rock Edwards turns over in building a defense hides something dark, slimy, and full of teeth. Money, power,and prestige are threatened and are threatening in return. The high and mighty will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden. On the golf course, over the card table, and in the halls of justice everybody is trying to improve their lie.

As the evidence mounts before a packed court room time is running out for the defense. Unless Edwards can decode Amanda's final enigma, "the cats went to the dogs" , he and his client will be thrown to the wolves. A lifetime 18 handicapper, Edwards will have to be a scratch lawyer, if his client is to have any chance.
