Moment of Truth     6 hours     abridged     Kate Burton  

Moment of Truth is the story of a man who frames himself for murder.  When attorney Jack Newin discovers his wife dead in their elegant home, he's convinced he knows who killed her -- and is equally determined to hide the truth.  He decides to take the rap, and to seal his fate he hires the most inexperienced laywer he can find, a reluctant rookie by the name of Mary DiNunzio from the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato & Associates.  But hiring Mary may turn out to be his biggest mistake.  Mary doubts Jack's confession, and her ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants to convict himself.  Smarter, gutsier, and more persistent than she has any right to be, Mary sets out to prove what really happened -- because as any laywer knows, a case is never as simple as it seems.  And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.
