Judy Carrier takes the case of her career to defend Anthony Lucia, fondly known as ""Pigeon Tony,"" who freely admits to killing his lifelong enemy in order to settle a personal vendetta. Her client's guilt, however, is only the beginning of Judy's problems. The victim's family wants revenge and is determined to finish off Pigeon Tony and Judy before the case goes to trial. Then there's Pigeon Tony's hunky grandson, who makes Judy think about everything but the law.
In a case steeped in blood and memory, it will take brains and a lot of luck to save Pigeon Tony. But if anyone will see justice done, it's this gutsy girl who will risk everything to win-including her life.

Judy Carrier takes on the case of a lifetime, defending a man who admits to killing his lifelong enemy.
But as she fights for justice, she must also fight for her own life against vengeful family members and a handsome distraction.
