Forgive their trespasses? One has committed murder. Two have committed adultery, and the third has stooped to petty spying. 

When Sophie Dickson becomes the reluctant tenth juror in a DC murder trial, she encounters the man whose marriage she destroyed through a drunken act of adultery. The prosecutor is trying to dig up dirt on his boss. Nona Pierce refuses to plead guilty, even while owning up to the murder.

Then Nona is kidnapped, and everyone gets caught in a battle between a local crime boss and some desperate Russians determined to dispense with life, liberty, and the pursuit of justice.
