Victoria Gotha was the wild cat of her firm and the trump card for the underworld - that kind of attorney the law hates, yet cannot resist. She was floating sky-high with seventy-eight cases unbeaten and was headed for amazing number eighty-eight when she got the call of her life, "win this one and you will die." His name was Aries. To lose the case would be a taboo. And to abandon it would be deigning to weigh in. Presented with the devil's alternative, everything was about to spiral out control in the deadliest circus ever known to man. In this deathly dance of macabre between Victoria and her strange friend on the phone, nothing will ever be the same.
