Scot Finn ist ein Scheidungsanwalt, der sich mit unanfechtbarem Sinn für Gerechtigkeit und Fairness in Strafverteidigung versucht. Eine Polizistin wird attackiert und für tot liegengelassen - doch sie überlebt und beschuldigt einen salvadorianischen Gangsterboss. Doch dieser kann es nicht gewesen sein. Finn muss das Leben des Ganoven retten - und herausfinden, was eine ausgezeichnete Beamtin dazu bringen kann, ihre Karriere, ja ihr Leben für eine Falschaussage zu riskieren.
Struggling Boston attorney Scott Finn is happy to do any legal work-until he lands the most twisted case of his career. Fifteen years ago, a female cop was viciously beaten and shot. Fingerprint evidence sent a man named Vincente Salazar to prison for fifty years. But today new DNA clues suggest he's innocent-and Finn is determined to find the truth. Then the cops block his investigation and the victim, who survived, won't talk to him. As his case unravels, Finn is shocked to discover that many of Boston's finest are risking their badges-and even their lives-to lie about this crime. Now the thin blue line between guilt and innocence stretches from Central America to the Boston suburbs . . . and is about to entangle Finn in its deadly web.
