Publisher's Synopsis
Mercedes Cave has very little to say about herself. She's seventeen and has had leukemia for a year. She has four half siblings. She weighs ninety pounds. She has a phone full of music that helps her get through they day. She has a stalker.
However, it's not Mercedes he wants. Nor is it her mother, victim of the same crime from the same man.
Her stepfather, Nathan Cave, is among the best trial lawyers in New York. He makes a thousand dollars a minute for showing up.
And yet, he makes the covers of newspapers for a slightly different thing - pro bono work. He has virtually no enemies that he knows of. It's the ones he don't know that suddenly threaten to rip his life apart.
