Amazon.com description: Product Description: Drawing rave after rave from established masters of suspense, Lee Gruenfeld continues to reinvent the legal thriller with this brilliantly told tale of a female defense lawyer who must defend an American computer genius against charges of treason. For attorney Rebecca Verona, defense seems easy: her expert witness, Rado Terescu, says the computer chip supposedly sold to the Chinese is so advanced, there's no way current technology could have actually produced it. But in court, the prosecutor-and Rebecca's former lover-claims to have the actual chip, and stymies Rebecca's effort to examine it, citing national security. As the legal maneuvers move into high gear, the deck seems stacked against Rebecca and her client. Could it be that her own expert has set her up for a fall? Suddenly, there seems to be much more at stake than one man's guilt or innocence.
