Description
Two families are forever bound by a single crime.
One family loses a father to murder; the other sees theirs accused. When the victim's son-in-law hijacks a Navy jet and vanishes over the Canadian wilderness, he leaves a mystery that refuses to fade.
Decades later, a defamation case and blackmail pull veteran law partners Duncan Carmichael and Sydney Warren back into the lingering mysteries surrounding the original murder. They struggle to help their former clients and strive to find justice for both families.
But is justice delayed still justice?
