Criminal
lawyer Samantha Brinkman is used to sparring with respected attorney
Graham Hutchins on a TV legal show, and he turns to her for help when
his daughter Alicia is murdered. After a high-pressure upbringing
Alicia Hutchins won a place and much-needed independence at USC, and
she seemed to have a glittering future. When Alicia was found with
her throat slashed, suspicion turned on her controlling ex-boyfriend
Roan Sutton – but then Sutton is found dead a few days later. Was
it suicide – or did Graham Hutchins avenge his daughter?
A
witness places Graham at the scene, but he denies any blame for
Sutton’s death. Samantha and her team, investigator Alex and
BFF/receptionist Michy set to work on the case, but uncover more
questions than answers. Alicia’s halo slips a little as Samantha
investigates the circumstances. Was Alicia a good girl having fun for
the first time in her life, or were there darker forces at work?
Matters are complicated for Samantha when a big time criminal shows
up to call in a favor. Javier Cabazon isn’t the kind of guy you can
say no to. He wants an important witness tracked down – or Samantha
and her father Dale will pay the consequences. With Cabazon’s
deadline, and the police closing in on Graham Hutchins, Samantha and
her friends need to pull out all the stops. She plays by her own
rules and is willing to bend or break any law to get results – but
can Samantha cut through the mass of motives and family secrets to
pull it off this time?
SnapJudgment sees the return of a terrific character in Samantha
Brinkman. Marcia Clark renders the world of high-stakes law and
flexible morals in perfect three dimensional clarity.
