"A roman clef based on a lawyer's journal puts him in the cross hairs in this legal thriller.... (O'Neill) orchestrates his complicated, twisty plot toward an unexpected and satisfying conclusion... A well-plotted and dense courtroom tale." (Kirkus Reviews, 2017). "Murder or the attempt thereof often occurs while others sleep." And thus begins a story where danger insinuates itself into the course of ordinary lives. Rod Cavanaugh is suited for his job as the town's premier criminal lawyer; and he adores his girls and loves his scotch. But when his family splintered he thought he'd had enough to deal with - mistakes of his doing that needed to be corrected. And that was before he and his daughters became a target in a deadly game of cat and mouse. A killer who stalks and bides his time. Only Cavanaugh can figure it out and stop the carnage. But the price to pay may be what was left of his innocence.
