From the Back Cover:

In an exciting new series that critics have called "John Grisham meets Robert Ludlum," criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck faces his biggest challenge yet.Tatum Knight is a former contract killer. Ruthless. Conniving. And he's Jack's newest client. He's been named in the will of a gorgeous young woman who was shot dead in her Mercedes on a Miami street.

Sally Fenning was worth forty-eight million dollars when she died. Money had never made her happy, so she left it all to her enemies -- left it for them to fight over, that is. No one gets a penny until all but one of the heirs are dead. It's survival of the greediest.

The lawyers gear up for a bitter legal battle, but Jack braces himself for much worse. As the heirs begin to fall, Jack is in a race against time to discover if Tatum -- or someone even more frightening -- is the odds-on favorite to be the last to die.
