Mired in grief and debilitating depression, Stan is asked by the CIA to defend a woman accused of killing her husband and three small children. The CIA assures him she's innocent, but when one of the woman's children is discovered dead in an East Texas ravine, Stan wonders who's been lying to him. Still, Stan believes the woman is innocent but must tread carefully to avoid revealing the CIA's top secret Tarizon Project. Paula's husband, Bart, gets fired by the Collin County DA's office and ends up helping her defend a man accused of the arson-murder of a prominent scientist and his family. It is thought a long feud over a barking dog is the motive for the murders, but further investigation reveals a bitter battle over a lucrative defense contract may in actuality be the true motive for the murders. |

| Publisher Description: Stan is recruited by the CIA for its ultra top-secret Tarizon Repopulation project. His first assignment is to defend a woman accused of murdering her children and alien husband. The alien husband, however, is not from Mexico but Tarizon, a planet in another solar system. Stan must not only prove his client innocent but also make sure nobody finds out the government is allowing aliens to live and propagate on Earth. While Stan is busy with his CIA project, Paula is asked to defend the accused in the arson-murder of a prominent scientist and his family. While a bitter feud between neighbors over a barking dog and a chain link fence appears to be the motive for the crime, Paula discovers several others who have benefitted from Chester Brown's death. In the midst of the two murder investigations, Stan is lured into a dangerous relationship with an alien woman assigned to keep an eye on him. Only after it is too late does he realize she has a hidden agenda.
