Chicago detective Nathan Heller has just been hired by the legendary Clarence Darrow to seek justice in a case tainted by bigotry, secrets, and lies.  One of five Honolulu natives accused of raping beautiful socialite Thalia Massie has been murdered . . . and the defendants are none other than Thalia's own husband and mother.

En route to Hawaii, Heller meets Thalia's cousin Isabel, a dangerously alluring woman who harbors a wealth of intriguing family secrets.  But it is Thalia herself who holds the key to the mystery -- a revelation that turns one of the most sensational trials of the century on its head.
