Oregon attorney Barbara Holloway's client, massively deformed Alex, is accused of murder. There's no evidence he's responsible, but the community figures that he's so ugly, he must be guilty. But of course the case is not so simple –the deceased had other enemies. Barbara has made a name for herself by taking on the toughest cases, but this one may be unwinnable. Sixth in the series. "Fast-paced, plausible, and entertaining."—Kirkus Reviews
