Bad Moon Rising...
In the past 3 months, 3 murders have been committed in a ritzy area of West Los Angeles--each one on the night of the full moon. Lt. Luis Cordova is heading a special task force in search of the killer before he can strike again. And he finds him! Roberto Salazar, a gardener working in the wealthy neighborhood, is idling in his truck drinking his coffee and reading the paper in the week hours before the work day begins when a suspicious phone call lures the police to search his truck and they find a key piece of evidence just underneath the seat.
Only a month ago Public Defender Jessica Thompson had defended Roberto when he was charged with transporting stolen televisions. But the jury found the hardworking father and part-time minister and youth counselor not guilty. Besides his loyal wife and local community, Roberto had the support of one of his wealthy clients who came to court every single day.
Now Jessica is wracked with doubt. Was she responsible for putting the Full Moon Killer back out on the streets? Or is this a case of racial profiling and being in the wrong place at the wrong time? She is determined to learn the truth before the Full Moon Killer can make her his next victim.
