When Ted Crawford discovers that his beautiful younger wife, Jennifer,
is having an affair, he plans her murder--the perfect murder. Among
the cops arriving at the crime scene is hostage negotiator Detective
Rob Nunally, the only officer permitted entry to the house.
Surprisingly, Crawford readily admits to shooting his wife, but
Nunally is too stunned to pay close attention when he recognizes his
lover, whose true identity he never knew, lying on the floor in a pool
of blood. Although Jennifer was shot at point blank range, Nunally
realizes she isn't dead. Crawford is immediately arrested and
arraigned after confessing--a seemingly slam-dunk case for hot shot
assistant district attorney Willy Beachum, who has one foot out the
door of the District Attorney's office on his way to a lucrative job
in high-stakes corporate law. But nothing is as simple as it seems,
including this case. Will the lure of power and a love affair with a
sexy, ambitious attorney at his new firm overpower Willy's fierce
drive to win, or worse, quash his code of ethics? In a tense duel of
intellect and strategy, Crawford and Willy both learn that a
"fracture" can be found in every ostensibly perfect facade.
