Summary:

After a deadly school shooting claims twenty casualties at Riverside Day School, the tragedy prompts mass hysteria-- and dangerous speculation. The police haven't identified the shooter, but a handgun found on the school grounds is registered to a parent, a Muslim man named Amir Khoury. News of the gun goes viral, and Al Qaeda claims responsibility. When Xavier, Amir and Lilly's oldest child and an eighteen-year-old senior at Riverside confesses to the crime, anti-Muslim fervor explodes to levels unseen since 9/11. Lilly asks Jack to step in. Now he must unearth the Khourys' family secrets to save his client from certain death. -- adapted from jacket

    It's tragedy enough that there is another mass school shooting, but events at Riverside Day School in Florida have terrible complications for Miami attorney Jack Swyteck. His daughter attends the school; his wife, FBI agent Andie Henning, is there when the bullets start flying; and, with Al-Qaeda claiming responsibility, Xavier, son of Jack and Andie's friends Amir and Lily Khoury, confesses to the crime. Now Jack is set to defend Xavier. With a 75,000-copy first printing.
