is the story of the tumultuous life of a high-profile criminal-defense lawyer
who is working in Manhattan; the name of this lawyer is Lily Harrison. When his
lawyer, Carlos Rodriguez, is accused of various murder cases, Lily gets caught
in the psychological trap of obsession and fear. Since the trial progresses,
her work life becomes intertwined with her personal sufferings, leading to
torturous nightmares and unexplained happenings. Jenkins takes time to explore
the theme of obsession, identity, and seeking the truth, and thus he creates an
interesting story that makes the reader confront the darker aspects of human
nature.
