"If it had rained on the 25th of April at least one woman would not have died. Not that I bear any responsibility for that. Nothing I didn't intentionally caused anyone's death." Stenographer Beatrice Barrington witnesses a meeting between the defendant in the criminal case she's working on and a woman who later contacts a member of the jury. Before Beatrice can take any action, the juror is found dead. Still trying to deal with her difficult past, Beatrice is pulled into a world of deception, danger and blackmail. Helped by her friend, retired Detective Gabriel Ingram, she is in a race against time to find the truth behind the death of the jurywoman before the trial collapses and more people die. Then a stalker with a familiar face begins to watch her every move. Now, for her, it becomes a struggle to survive. Will Beatrice identify the killer in time?
