Infos

Criminal defense attorney Jessica Frost is hired to defend twenty-one-year-old daughter college student Stephanie Dozier who is accused of stabbing to death her roommate Kristine McVeigh, the daughter of a prominent local judge, Ralph McVeigh, as a result of a love triangle. The accused and victim attended Wryer College, a private women's institution in Creighton Hills, Oregon. Stephanie was caught holding the murder weapon, a ten-inch serrated knife, while standing over the bloody body. Jessica is up against Thorne County Deputy District Attorney Madeleine Griffin who paints the accused as committing the crime in jealous rage against her romantic rival and is determined to win a conviction. Over the course of her investigation, Jessica learns that Kristine was part of a secretive group of attractive college students called The Sexy Coeds Club, who made it their mission to seduce married college professors for higher grades and money to finance their college expenses and lifestyles. They threatened to expose the cheating professors who refused to play ball. Jessica, who recently ended a relationship with married financial advisor Hugh Holliman, becomes involved with private investigator Liam Reed, whose current case has him investigating the suicide of a Wryer art history professor a month earlier. Their cases become entwined when Jessica discovers the professor was being blackmailed by one of the Coeds Club members. To further complicate matters, her ex-lover's name is also linked to the victim, making him and his embittered wife suspects in the murder. As Jessica sorts through Kristine's dark secrets, other members of the Coeds Club fall prey to a killer. Against and in spite of this backdrop, a determined DDA insists that the trial will go on. Jessica must take her case to court, her legal skills needed to outwit a gifted adversary, the freedom of her client hanging in the balance. In the process, Jessica finds herself in mortal danger as a vindictive killer stops at nothing to keep from being brought to justice.
