Just before Eugenie Conklin's plane took a nosedive, she tossed out a camera case that held an unusual set of photos. While defending Eugenie's husband during the accident investigation, Jackie realizes that she recognizes more than a few of the faces in those pictures. They may be able to prove her client's innocence but Jackie soon learns that to find the answer to Eugenie's death will mean uncovering a mystery from her own family's past as well.

Reviews
"Jackie, a lawyer inclined to skirt the law, is persistent to the point of bullheadedness and sometimes too fearless for her own good. Readers may want to scream warnings to her in the suspenseful final pages of this fine hard-boiled crime novel, which effectively combines action and introspection."
Booklist
"A rollicking tale with lots of twists and turns, adding up to a great deal of enjoyment."
Washington Times
"With an ability to make the shocking plausible, an elegantly edgy prose style, and characters who seem as real as old friends, Knopf displays his talents to perfect effect in this humane and haunting novel."
