Moment of Truth — Lisa Scottoline

Moment of Truth is the story of a man who frames himself for murder. When attorney Jack Newin discovers his wife dead in their elegant home, he's convinced he knows who killed her - and is equally determined to hide the truth. He decides to take the rap, and to seal his fate he hires the most inexperienced laywer he can find, a reluctant rookie by the name of Mary DiNunzio from the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato & Associates. But hiring Mary may turn out to be his biggest mistake. Mary doubts Jack's confession, and her ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants to convict himself. Smarter, gutsier, and more persistent than she has any right to be, Mary sets out to prove what really happened - because as any laywer knows, a case is never as simple as it seems. And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.
