Description

World-famous criminal law professor Eric Lipton has been accused of the murder of one of his students. He calls on Casey Jordan to represent him. Just when she is tempted to use her privileged information to discover the truth, more bodies turn up.

Description

When a 22-year-old law student is found brutally murdered, her father comes undone--and rightfully so. In a fit of rage, Donald Sales accuses Eric Lipton, his daughter's arrogant and brilliant professor, of killing her. Then, after an article of the victim's blood-soaked clothing is found in Professor Lipton's possession, he hires attorney Casey Jordan to represent him. To Jordan, Sales' violent history makes him a more logical suspect, and the skillfull attorney discredits him on the witness stand. As the jury finds Lipton not guilty, Casey is stunned when the professor whispers to Jordan that he did it. Weeks later, as more bodies turn up, Jordan must decide whether to uphold her legal oath to protect her client ... or join forces with an unlikely ally in bringing a demented killer to justice.
