The trouble is, everyone believes women belong in the home---that it is not only unnatural, but against God's will for them to seek a career. When Sarah finagles an interview with one of the city's most prestigious law firms, no one thinks she has a prayer of being hired. Except Sarah.

When four more victims fall prey to the killer's knife, Sarah fears she has bitten off more than she can chew.
