You Have The Right To Remain Silent

When Crawford is found brutally dismembered and murdered, the evidence points to Mia as the killer. While the prosecutor pushes for a murder indictment, Dr. Rothenberg, convinced of his patient's innocence, turned to an old friend - high profile attorney, Zachary Blake, Detroit's self-proclaimed 'King of Justice'. Blake will do anything for Rothenberg, the man who successfully treated his kids in their battle with a predator priest. Zack takes Mia's case but has his work cut out for him because Mia has been hospitalized, shocked into a catatonic state at the discovery of her husband's mutilated body, unable to assist in her own defence. Sensing he must prove Mia's innocence to avoid an eventual life sentence, Zack enlists the aid of his crack investigator, Micah Love, and Micah's cyber-specialist, Reed Spencer, to dissect and poke holes in the case. But, for this case, Micah is convinced that Zack needs more--he recommends beautiful, sharp, brash, foul-mouthed, cocky-confident New York-based jury consultant extraordinaire Shari Belitz and her team of mock trial/focus group gurus. Shari is the best of the best. Her assignment in the Folger case? Flyspeck the evidence and unleash her arsenal of psychological techniques and predictive skills - use focus groups or mock juries to determine what evidence or circumstances would cause the real jury to declare Mia Folger innocent of all charges. Zack wants no part of Shari; one cocky lawyer - Zachary Blake - should be sufficient to prove Mia's case. Blake knows what he needs for an acquittal; a brash jury consultant from NYC will only get in his way. But Micah persists and persuades Zack him to give Shari and her team a try. Zack, Micah, Reed, and the irrepressible Ms. Belitz join forces in an all-out attack on the evidence, while evil characters lurk in the background, engaged in a sinister plot to assure Mia's demise. Expect the unexpected in this whodunit legal crime thriller, the 8th installment of the Zachary Blake Legal Thriller Series, featuring all your favorite series characters and one brash, exciting newcomer who gives Blake all he can handle.
