Summary
In the bitter Chicago winter of 2005, a federal judge's ordinary morning of eggs and coffee gave way to unfathomable horror when her husband and elderly mother were executed in their basement by a disfigured cancer patient whose medical malpractice lawsuit she had dismissed, turning his desperate search for justice into a deranged mission of vengeance that would claim two innocent lives before ending in his own suicide. What began as a quiet Tuesday quickly spiraled into a haunting investigation that exposed the terrifying vulnerability of those who serve on the bench, the devastating consequences of untreated mental illness, and the cruel irony that the killer's intended target survived while those she loved most became collateral damage in a war she never knew was being waged against her.
