Doubt in the 2nd Degree

In Chicago some neighborhoods explode in gunfire and others in gentrification--but the real money built the skyline alongside sparkling blue Lake Michigan. In one such luxury high-rise auto-parts heiress Jackie Whitney has been bludgeoned to death her body found neatly wrapped and tucked away on a closet shelf. Jules Landau has been hired by the public defender to get her client off the hook. The police are convinced theyve got their killer but Jules isnt so sure. The lawyer doesnt care who killed Jackie Whitney. She just wants to stir up a reasonable doubt . . . but theres nothing reasonable about this case. While balancing a relationship with a sexy baker who keeps unholy hours--and dodging a crooked cop who wants to break his bones--Jules digs deeper into Jackies final days. Soon he unravels a web of friendships affairs and money all connected to an unlikely site for a murderous conspiracy. How can a single building hide so many secrets? For Jules justice isnt only about the presumption of innocence. Its about the truth and stopping a killer who will no doubt strike again.
