"It's been six months since an airplane crash altered the course of Sasha's professional and personal life. Now Sasha is busy building her new solo law practice and nurturing her budding relationship with air marshall Leo Connelly. When Sasha drives from Pittsburgh to rural Clear Brook County to argue a run-of-the-mill discovery motion, she finds a town bitterly divided over hydrofracking the Marcellus Shale. Outsiders from the oil and gas industry and environmental activists threaten to rip apart the fabric of the small town. When the town's only judge is murdered, Sasha can't just walk away. As she works to find the killer, Sasha races to save the town before it fractures beyond repair."--p.4 of cover.
