In a sequel to Legal Thriller, former San Francisco prosecutor/women's advocate Destiny Mitchell receives a call in the middle of the night from a Death Row inmate, who pleads for her to save him from someone who is trying to kill him and many other Death Row inmates. Upon investigation, Destiny learns that Death Row inmates at San Quentin are indeed dying at unprecedented rates. When the inmate dies and she receives a second phone call and warning from a scary man who demands to know what the inmate told her, she realizes she has become embroiled in a sinister intrigue that possibly involves state and federal government officials, the California prison system, a secret society and even her own husband, private detective Bryan Osaka. In a desperate bid to save her own life and the life of best friend/Chronicle reporter, Kiyomi Yamakita, Destiny is shocked to discover the reason for the inmates being murdered and the method, designed to provide a small, patriotic group with the power to control the world. Racing against time, Destiny and Kiyomi are outmatched, in the dark and in need of a major break, which comes from a surprising source.
