Necessity

A defense attorney faces the toughest case of his career: representing a man who has admitted to murdering the president . . .
When Joseph Antonelli, who has never lost a case, takes on the most shocking client of his career, he is unprepared for the depths of trouble he's about to get into. A senator has confessed to stabbing the president of the United States to death—but has invoked the "Law of Necessity," which states that a crime is justified if it serves the greater good.
As the nation is gripped by the trial of the century, Antonelli must try a case with all eyes on him—and his own life on the line—in this riveting read from a bestselling Edgar Award nominee.
