High Crimes

Claire Heller Chapman has the perfect life. She's a Harvard law professor and a high-profile criminal defense attorney known for taking on - and winning - tough cases. But one day this perfect life is shattered when her husband Tom Chapman is suddenly arrested by a team of government agents and accused of a brutal crime he insists he didn't commit. As Claire finds herself drawn closer into a web of duplicity and shadowy figures, she discovers that her husband is not who he says he is...that he once had a different name...even a different face. Now Claire must put her reputation on the line to defend Tom in a top-secret court-martial. As she searches for the truth, she begins to unravel an insidious, high-level government conspiracy that threatens not only her career but also her life, and the lives of her loved ones. All the while, she struggles to maintain her belief in her husband's innocence - even when all the evidence seems to indicate that he is a cold-blooded murderer.

המשפט הראשון: "At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, Claire Heller Chapman entered the cavernous old Harvard Law School lecture hall and found a small knot of reporters lying in wait for her."
