When a beautiful woman is accused of murdering her husband, there is only one person she wants to represent her—Miami criminal defense attorney Jack Swyteck. What begins as a simple assignment, however, swiftly lurches into a twisting thrill-ride of unanswered questions and mounting suspicions on Jack’s part. For the victim’s husband was an officer at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay and the son of a prominent Cuban exile—and her story changes with the breeze. With no experience in military justice and his faith in the honesty of his client tested at every turn, Jack embarks on a trial that will task all his reserves of knowledge and bring him face to face with the ultimate surprise witness.
