内容简介:
David Armstrong, a successful San Francisco Bay area criminal attorney, is retained by California's senior U.S. senator to defend her half-brother-a hobo and disabled Vietnam War veteran-against charges of murder and drug racketeering. David and his longtime investigator are convinced their new client is being framed, and they cross the country in search of information that might clear him. In the ensuing federal trial, during which David and the senator begin a romance, David has to combat the underhanded techniques of both the F.B.I. and the prosecutors before the truth finally comes out. Or does it?
