The clock is ticking as crime consultant Scott Drayco and "world's most diminutive defense attorney" Benny Baskin play games with a dangerous killer in order to save an innocent man from going to jail. Why is the killer sending cryptic poems to Drayco on his cellphone and what do they mean? Was the murder a crime of opportunity or was it planned all along and something deeper at work? Drayco races around Washington, D.C. trying to find the answers and avoid being a puppet as the killer pulls the strings.
