Joe Brandt knows far too much about the traumas that can overwhelm a child. Terrifying nightmares, half-remembered assaults and a variety of obsessions are the insidious reminders of his troubled youth.Now a prosecutor, Joe's uncanny affinity with child witnesses leads him to be assigned the case of a career - the brutal murder and dismemberment of a famous woman. The sole witness is the young son of the primary suspect who is one of the most powerful and ruthless men in the state. His presence at the bloodbath has left the devastated boy unable to say a word.Frenzied press coverage, the politics of the DA's office, the child's frantic guardian, and the opposition's legal - and illegal - tactics, plus the lasting torment of his own childhood wounds pummel Joe at every turn as he stalks the killer inside and outside the court.
