"Introduces Brigham Bybee, an attorney with a troubled past, assigned to assist in the defense of a young man accused of murder in the town of Kanab, Utah. It's expected that he'll simply go through the motions, do what he's told, and, perhaps, regain some of his reputation. Even a basic defense, however, requires some investigation, and Brig realizes quickly that not only is the accused being set up but so is he."--Jacket.
