A Gripping Sequel to Old City Hall
On the morning that his headline-grabbing divorce trial is set to begin, Terrence Wyler is found dead on the kitchen floor of his million-dollar home, the victim of countless stab wounds. Detective Ari Greene arrives minutes before the international press, who've been egged on by Wyler's torrid affair with a young Hollywood starlet. The dead man has left a clue, formed from his four year-old child's letters on the fridge door. Toronto is going through a crime wave and the heat is on Greene. Hours after the funeral, Wyler's ex-wife, a strange beauty named Samantha from an old mining town in northern Ontario, is charged with murder.
Ted DiPaulo, a veteran defense lawyer, widowed and now raising two teenagers, finds his biggest obstacle is his own client, the hard-to-read Samantha. Jennifer Raglan, who recently stepped down as head crown - back with her family after her secret affair with Greene - is the determined prosecutor. What should be a straightforward guilty plea turns into a complex murder trial, the aftermath of which leaves everyone discontented and Greene, as ever, still looking for answers.
