Once Vail begins to do what he does best - figure all the angles - so begins a court battle worthy of Presumed Innocent and a nightmare of terror every bit as horrifying as The Silence of the Lambs. There`s Jack Scalding and ex-judge whose main passions in life are playing the horses and arguing the law Tommy Goodman Vail`s top investigator an ex-boxer studying to be a lawyer so he can follow in Vail`s footsteps Molly Arrington a young and beautiful psychiatrist and the one who is the first to understand the extraordinary truth that lies behind the killing of the archbishop.

But Vail is no ordinary lawyer and the legal team he assembles is no ordinary backup squad. Now they`re paying him back - by forcing him to defend Aaron Sampler and plead a case he cannot possibly win.

Vail is so good at his job he`s managed to infuriate every judge prosecutor and politician in Illinois. Moments after the murder an angelic-looking young man Aaron Sampler is found crouched in a confessional covered with blood and clutching a butcher knife - but swearing he is innocent of the heinous act. In Chicago a sainted archbishop is slain mutilated and dismembered in his rectory. Yet nothing he has done before can prepare you for Primal Fear.
