But she can't ignore the mysterious deaths at the Women and Children's Hospital---especially when the hospital's Chinese chef is arrested for the murders and the Chinese community's most powerful Tong Lord asks her to defend him.Faced with her first criminal trial, Sarah stops at nothing to determine the killer's identity. Will Sarah figure out who the murderer is, or will she be the final victim?. Though her own San Francisco law firm barely tolerates
